Should Gael & Nathan Pursue A Boatmance During Below Deck Med Charter?

Gael & Nathan Should Take Things Slow On Below Deck

While Aesha and Elena both agreed that Gael’s existing relationship coming intoBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9 wasn’t the right fit, the question remains about whether the Deckhand should be pursuing something aboard the superyacht. Though Gael and Nathan have been able to work professionally with one another after flirting throughout the first charter, their bubble of secrecy was harshly popped when they tried to get some privacy after the first crew night out. The pair tried to sneak up to a crew deck, but cameras caught them heading up, andGael ultimately called off their late night rendezvous.

ThoughGael and Nathan’s intentions weren’t made clear, and both shared that they only wanted to meet up to continue to talk after their night out, it seemed obvious that things wouldn’t be simply friendly between the Deckhands. Even though Gael was already in a relationship, it appeared that they were getting together to get physical. While it’s not anyone’s business, the fact that they were so quickly and easily ready to cross the line from professional to personal was shocking.They should have pumped the brakesand gotten to know each otherfirst.

AfterBelow Deck Mediterranean’s first few episodes, it’s obvious that the season is going to be a high-stakes look at theMustique’s crew, who aren’t afraid to take risks and swing big on the superyacht. Even though Gael and Nathan called off their late night meeting, the pair’s attraction is strong, andit seems like there’s potential for a budding boatmance if they take things slowand get to know each other better. While they may throw caution to the wind later on, hopefully, theBelow Deck Mediterraneanpair is able to figure things out and get together soon.
