Women and the Wind are 3 exceptional and multi facetted women who embody courage, creativity, and pose a rare example of primal femininity at sea. Kiana, Laerke and Alize, cross the Atlantic using all traditional sailing methods aboard "Mara Noka" a 50 year old plywood catamaran with nylon sheathing and tar coating. The girls grinded away for a year long refit in Florida, before heading out for their mission to follow, document, and raise awareness to plastic in our oceans. This trio is a powerful force, using Alize's creative background in filmmaking you will be blown away at the images and footage that came out of this journey. We can't wait to see their documentary and gain perspective on how little one actually needs in today's day and age to take to the sea.
