OK, Noreen, how did you do it?

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will quote (you had to follow on through another link at the bottom of the page): "from £450 for a two hour cruise at Maldon to £850 for a day sail on the Orwell."

I seem to recall that we did the two hour cruise, which cost us £10 each for the 50 of us who went, winding up at the "Jolly Sailor" on Maldon Quay. A day sail is obviously better value, but given the geographical spread and boracic state of some, could we rise to the cost?

They also do weekends full board at around £100 a head for a group of 12.

Is this getting too ambitious (or exclusive?)?
