Crew members have issues with Lewis on Below Deck Adventure

On tonight's episode of Below Deck Adventure, new deckhand Seth was ready for a brand new day as him and the rest of the crew had to welcome a new set of charter guests. Ahead of sorting out preference sheets, planning outdoor events and themed parties, they had to prepare the yacht and clean the same to ensure the guests enter a fresh new space.

The previous night, the cast members had a great time at a restaurant where they officially welcomed the new deckhand and had some fun time. After a good night's sleep, they had to report to their duties in the morning. The new dekhand waited for orders from his team leader, bosun Lewis, however he found no personal ones but only a text message.

Lewis sent his fellow Below Deck Adventure dekhands a whatsapp message with the duties for the day. As fellow teammates Michael and Nathan confirmed they were getting the message, Seth joined them only to find out that Lewis had sent only a text message and there wasn't going to be any meeting to discuss the job for the day,

Seth was shocked with Lewis' work ethic and in a confessional, expressed his surprise at how the bosun was running the season's charter with only text messages and not having conversations with his teammates. The new deckhand also felt that he should have had a personal orientation, considering he had only joined a day ago and still didn't know where everything was.

In the previous episode of Below Deck Adventure, Seth had discussed Lewis' way of working with chief stew Faye, who warned him that the bosun didn't know how to lead the team and didn't have enough control over his deckhands, a complaint that Faye had towards Lewis since the premiere.

Later on in this week's episode, Faye wanted the deckhands' help to sort out the guests luggage, but she had to repeat the announcement thrice and go to the deckhands personally to ask for help, which frustrated her. As they were getting ready to serve the guests, Michael had difficulty connecting with his bosun on the preparation materials.

By the end of the Below Deck Adventure, Faye and Lewis got together for a meeting where the former advised the bosun to have a variety of games and not just an obstacle course like he suggested. He was frustrated as he felt that the chief stew was pushing him too much. He also suggested that the entire crew be outside helping them set things up.
