Sailors in Newfoundland and Labrador may say that winter isn't the best time to be on the water. But for two avid sailors from Manitoba, it's the perfect opportunity to try something new. Judith Graile and Wes Hyde drove from Manitoba to Lewisporte, living in a school bus while they refurbished their environmentally friendly sailboat, the Hakluyt. The couple have swapped out the boat's diesel motors for electric motors, and have equipped the boat with wind generators and an eco-friendly woodstove. CBC Radio's The Broadcast got to tour the boat earlier this month and speak to Hyde and Graile about their mission.
