Blind sailors race across open water, learning not to fear what they cannot see- on boats or on land. They compete despite risk, trusting an image of the racecourse in the mind’s eye. Yet life is as unpredictable as the wind. One gains something far different than a trophy, and must learn to live and sail with a new sensibility.
