Abstract
In this workshop opinion paper, I share a first-person account of my lived experience during a seven-day sailing expedition around Mallorca, with a focus on water sustainability. The paper highlights critical incidents from the journey that inspired reflection and informed design recommendations — opening up discussions on how to foster more symbiotic, respectful engagements with water across all forms of water sports.
