Captain Sandy Yawn blows up on Malia White in upcoming episode of Under the Mediterranean Bridge, leaving fans wondering if they’re still friends. Or did the interaction drive a wedge between them?

White recently set the record straight. “Yes of course!” she replied about her friendship with Yawn in an Instagram Q&A story. We can disagree, but I still have the utmost respect for her as a captain and a friend. White added that she would work “100%” with this crew again and that the deck team was the best she had in the series.

Malia White has teased rough seas with Captain Sandy this season

And while White and Yawn are well placed, she told Showbiz Cheat Sheet that viewers will certainly see them in a different light this season. “There are a lot of tragedies that have happened before,” she said. “But there is a lot more to come. And I think you see clips with Captain Sandy and myself this season. You will see another side of our relationship. Yes, definitely, just when you think all the fighting is over.

White reflected off the rash with Yawn being teased in the previews. “I think it was a moment that was misinterpreted,” she said. “As if something minor had been out of proportion. And that’s towards the end of the season, when everyone is a bit at their wit’s end.

Viewers already know that the intense moment is due to White failing to report an injury to Yawn. “There have been a few injuries this season,” White said. “And that’s something we had to deal with.”

Captain Sandy and Malia White’s working relationship put to the test

Viewers saw Yawn and White working in near complete harmony last season. But this season, Yawn has questioned some of White’s decisions. She said White planted a “seed of doubt” in her mind when she didn’t say that one of her deck crew forgot to plug in the jetski when it started to sink.

However, White defended his response. “As a team leader, I like to understand what happened before pointing fingers especially in front of the captain! she shared on Instagram. “I never withheld information – I gave the most informed answer I had at the time.”

“Don’t cover up but also don’t blame until I know the exact reason for something!” she continued. “With guests around, it must be a subtle process of elimination. Once we jumped in, checked the bungs and knew that was the problem – then there was a team meeting to find out who was in charge and how we, as a team, solve it. No big deal for this deck crew!

What does Captain Sandy of “Below Deck Mediterranean” think about Malia White?

Yawn also addressed the tension with White this season. “Oh, Malia and I are fine,” she said E! New. “We just have to wait and see what happens, but, you know, there are times, even if you’re leading people, you get mad.”

“One of the things that really upset me is when people don’t take responsibility and shrug their shoulders,” she continued, reflecting on White’s response to the report of the injury.
