Lucie Reymondet looks into the camera at the start of a windy, cold evening sail. The evening sail had originally been cancelled as the winds were too high for responsible sailing with a casual crew, but Lucie and a few others emailed the skipper asking that the sail happen anyway. The bluewater program has excellent foul weather and safety gear and strong sailors, and we had no concerns in taking a small group out on XD that evening.
