Here we are in the centre of the Irish Sea with so many exciting places to visit in close proximity and we spend almost all our time clinging to the Rock, without taking advantage of the two of our greatest and ever present gifts, the wind and the ocean.
For some years now, one of the charities that The Welbeck Hotel & Restaurant has supported is Sailing for the Disabled.
However, one way or another, we never quite managed to go to one of their 'Get togethers' to actually go and see the boat until just a few weeks ago.
It really is a marvellous vessel and the way in which they are able to winch on wheelchair users and the boat is adapted to allow them to sail is ingenious, though it has to be remembered that there are lots of different disabilities, each presenting their own challenge.
We are hoping to be able to join in one day and go for an excursion which hopefully won't take us as long to grasp an opportunity.
