Gary and his mother have embarked on a memorable road trip from Johannesburg to Knysna, his hometown.

After leaving Lesotho and re-entering South Africa, the duo continued their journey along the Lake Gariep Route, known for its endless roads and stunning views.
King joined “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” in season 2 as the first mate, bringing with him 12 years of yachting experience.
His career has taken him from South Africa to Europe and beyond, showcasing his expertise in the yachting industry.
However, despite his Playboy reputation, King’s involvement in a sexual misconduct allegation has cast a shadow over his tenure on the show.
“Below Deck” is a popular reality TV series that follows the lives of crew members working on a luxury superyacht during charter season.
The show documents both the professional challenges of navigating life at sea and the interpersonal drama that arises from living and working in close quarters.
Fans are eagerly hoping for a season 6 and a continuation of the series, which concluded with season 5.
