Dhanya Pilo is an Intrepid sailor & Film-maker generally based in Mumbai, India unless she is out sailing, exploring the various water bodies on Planet Earth. She realised during the 2019 lockdown that sailing is an everyday adventure/learning and we need to share those incredible moments with those not yet enchanted by sail life. So, she has been collecting short stories from various sailors around the world for her book titled "Tell Tales". Recently, she was part of Team Maiden that won the Ocean Globe Race 23-24.
