⛵ Day 1 of our #sailing course was just a bit windy! Hand-drills, some in the marquee, and some @rya theory. @hitchinscouts 
⛵ Meanwhile the gusty wind roared in the trees and even whipped whitecaps on the water @ESSAwatersports (camera can't do justice)I
⛵ After an early lunch, Stage 1 sailors ventured out to Paddle & Steer, in only the most sheltered part of the lake, and later some learned about being towed (not rescued though!).
⛵ Stage 2 opted to take a bigger dinghy for a sail, mainsail reefed, with an instructor helming. Even so there was a capsize - a story to be told! And the other dinghy crew opted for capsize drills, without sails for safety. 💦
A very different day is forecast for Day 2, but will there actually be enough wind for sailing? ⛵
