Sandra Dolores Yawn has been locked up, left for dead on a Florida highway and chased through the Red Sea by pirates. Not because she thought Ms. Yawn, who goes by Captain Sandy, needed her well wishes, but because she had started watching “Below Deck Mediterranean” on Bravo. Ms. Shafer had written to congratulate her on the show’s success. Yawn, 59, has been a yacht captain for more than 30 years.
