A candid, medium shot of a young woman smiling brightly while on a boat at sea. She is wearing a white wide-brimmed sun hat, a purple hoodie, and a bulky orange life jacket with a safety whistle attached. Behind her, the boat's wake creates white foam against the deep blue water, and a distant, tree-lined coastline is visible under a clear, bright blue sky.
