"There are a lot of young people who were inspired by Zoe’s life, and I know I was. She was a great person with an amazing way of holding herself, she was strong and willing to support and help. In the cold, dark freezing night she solved our centerboard problem with calm and ease. Her light in the world touched me deeply, she taught me the points of sail so that I could fully understand it. Her peaceful communication made me feel calm, happy and at home on the boat. Her sailing knowledge and ease on the boat made me want to stay on that trip forever.
Dear Family and Friends,
The Nova Scotia Sea School would like to thank you for attending Zoe's Candle Talk gathering, sharing personal photos, email messages, and commenting on our Facebook page. We were deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support. Thank you for honoring her and capturing her spirit with such heartfelt words and your presence.
Thank you again for your support during this difficult time. If there is anything we can do to support you, as well, please let us know.
