Malia White made history as the first female bosun on theBelow Deckfranchise.
As noted byVulture,it was leading ladyCaptain Sandy Yawnwho inspired White to follow her dreams.
I haven’t looked back since," White reasoned.
As she proudly explained toVulture,“Ever since [season two], I’ve continued my career.
I’ve gotten my 200-ton captain’s license, and I’ve been an engineer.
I’ve constantly stayed on yachts as deckhand and then worked my way up to bosun.
It’s been a long road, but White is passionate about a career on the water.
“Reporting any incident especially one we witness is all of our job.
While the romance wasn’t meant to be, at least White got a good friendship out of it.
She told Bravo’sThe Daily Dishthat she and Walton still keep in touch.
“He has had some amazing yachting experiences recently,” she said.
“He’s been traveling all over the world.
We’re still good friends.
He keeps me updated with his travels, and I tell him about mine.”
Walton even gets along with White’s current boyfriend, Tom Checketts.
“Small world, yachting is.”
