"This is interesting," host Andy Cohen remarked while reading a fan's question for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht boss. "It seems the sails go up whenever it's time to serve the guests. Why not wait until after the service is done to sail?" (As viewers have seen, setting sail while the crew is preparing meals or drinks for guests can lead to messy situations in the galley, bar, and beyond.)

Glenn laughed before answering the question. "The guests want to sail," he said. "They come on a sailboat, they want to sail."

Glenn also noted that the guests, as well as the crew, "have so many things to do in a short amount of time." (These "things" can include the crew creating over-the-top drinks at a guest's request, putting on a talent show following a "seafoodpalooza" dinner, and of course, taking in the incredible views from the helm of the boat.) "We have to figure [out] a way to slot it in," he said. "We gotta work it in."
