Residents at Lovewalk resumed an old activity, back by popular demand, sailing at Greenland Dock. The sailing club “Tideway Sailability” specialises in providing sailing opportunities for all, no matter what your ability or disability. This time we took 4 new sailors who had never been sailing before and they tried one of the Hawks – larger boats with crew provided where you can join in with the sailing as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Our residents loved it, and there is a waiting list for the next trip in 2 weeks time!
