This news of sailing in Maldon brought back happy memories of taking 12 of our youth group for 2 nights on a similar trip out of Maldon. NCC had just axed the jobs of many mainstream youth workers, one of whom had booked and found the money for a sailing holiday in the first week of the season. It had to be abandoned because of the cuts, and they offered it out to our group for young people with disabilities. Needless to say we snapped it up! The youngsters did all the menu planning and we all shopped at a supermarket in Maldon. We had 2 'watches' so we took it in turns to be in the galley or sailing of deck. It was hard work but immense fun!    Deidre
