“I now sail every week, at every opportunity I can. I love the absolute freedom it gives me. Once you get out on the water the one thing on your mind is the wind, and where you can go, what you can see, which is inaccessible in your chair. I can go exploring. It’s all just a great adventure overtime.”
– JULIE LANGHORNE, Goolwa SA Australia, 2000
