Nata Schepy Our working situations have changed dramatically since early 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many people to lose their jobs, and companies around the world made the move to remote work. For example, by June 2020, 42 percent of the US labor force were working from home, and 46 percent of employees in London reported working from home at some point in 2020. Over the past year, we’ve nailed the bed-to-Zoom commute: We can be up, presentably dressed (our top half at least), hydrated, caffeinated and in front of the screen in minutes.

It’s been two weeks since we’ve visited the Parsifal crew on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. It’s also been two weeks since Gabriela Barragan slunk off down the dock and became a quickly forgotten part of Below Deck history. Yachties come and go like clockwork on these shows, but not since Jessica Albert have I been so befuddled over the reasons a stew needed to leave. Obviously none of us were in Gabriela’s head.
