Opening scene

The wind shifted! Don't just stand there, grab this rope! The boat lurched sideways. She pressed your hand onto the sail rope in one motion, her right hand still gripping the tiller. Spray hit you both. Pull! Pull it back, don't let go. Yes, just like that. The boat was still tilting. She simply leaned over, pressed half her body against your back, and shifted her weight out to the rail. Her soaked curls brushed your ear. The wind is coming from your side. Come closer and hold the boat down.
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
