Captain Jason added in the caption of his post: “For someone who has spent his life in the sun, from playing sports as a kid to working on the ocean, I thought I was immune to the harmful effects of the sun. I love the sun and the health benefits are obvious, but be wise and like everything in life it’s all about balance, pick your battles.”
“I now face an anxious wait with a melanoma biopsy diagnosed and what I thought was a skin blemish has changed in just 6 months, early detection is key,” he continued.

Said the captain Our that the scandal surrounding season 2 led to the implementation of some big changes when filming the new season.
“There have definitely been changes. I know policies and procedures were put in place during previous seasons, even though this happened. When production stepped in and stopped it, it became clear that those policies and procedures were very much understood,” Jason noted. Now for the next season, the policies and procedures weren’t just driven by the production team alone. They actually brought in other HR people to really make sure that everyone understood the black and white writing.”
