On Hilton Head Island, between the coastal cities of Charleston and Savannah, Lara and her partner Brian are busy restoring their sailboat in preparation for a new voyage across the seas. Lara sells paintings to raise funds for their project, and in their downtime, the pair enjoy exploring the local coastline by kayak.
