Team on the Sea: Katrina Chen – Escapism Through Sailing, Swimming and Cinema

For me, 2023 was a year of maritime exploration. I went sailing with many friends and boat owners and together, we explored the seas we had long dreamt of. Crossing oceans, selecting safe anchorages or cozy harbours, sharing moments of tranquility and laughter with friends, and seeing the happy smiles on everyone’s faces awakened by the majestic sea during the journey have reaffirmed my passion for this career.

Aside from work, I love swimming and watching movies. Swimming for me is freedom and relaxation, providing me with physical and mental tranquility. It’s a way to stay healthy, soothe my mind, wash away worries and connect with nature. Movies provide another escape. They’re my passport to realms beyond the harbour and often the topic of interesting conversations with friends and family. I enjoy various genres, from suspense to comedy, from sci-fi to documentaries. Each movie immerses me in different storylines and emotions.
