A DAY AT SEA: Amy Snow  of Hampton, N.H., and five of her closest friends and family, enjoyed a sail in waters off Nantucket in August, thanks to Sailing Heals, a nonprofit based in Haverhill. 

“She knew she only had a few weeks to live and wanted very much to share a sailing experience with her loved ones on an island that had so many special memories for her,” said Trisha Boisvert, executive director of the organization. “Sailing Heals was honored to deliver.”
