"At some deeper level for those that really get the sea and the ability to harness the wind and sail there is a connection that feels very natural, I also believe that the serenity that is felt whilst under sail out at sea is the calming influence that is needed to recover and not solely just from drugs but from traumatic experiences some of us face in life."
