Part 1/2 - Learn to sail - A tour of Lake Bala and beaching the dinghy!

After checking my latest boat repairs and updates, I contemplate whether the jib sheets should be inside or outside the shrouds!. (Inside by the way) Then with a nice S. Westerly breeze, its off beating for a full tour of the lake, stopping at the Bala Camping Beach and then onwards to the bottom of the lake and to the other Campsite beach for lunch. With the wind picking up I lose control of my boat as I try to ground her ashore.
