Michael (not his real name) joined the Boat Day Program feeling isolated and unsure of himself. Through supportive connections and ocean adventures, he built confidence, made new friends, and rediscovered his sense of self. Now, he encourages others to embrace new experiences and find their own strength.
“Before joining the Boat Day Program, I stuck to myself a lot. I didn’t think I was the kind of person who could dive into new things — let alone spend a day on a boat with people I didn’t know. But being out on the water changed something in me. It was peaceful, but also exciting. I tried fishing for the first time, had a laugh with the group, and felt like I belonged. Each time I came back, I felt more confident — like I was leaving a bit of my old self behind and making room for someone stronger, happier, and more connected. This program didn’t just get me out of the house — it gave me back a part of myself I didn’t realise I was missing.”
