Sailing on the Helford

First sailing trip on the Helford started so well - beautiful sunshine, gin and tonic in hand, then the motor broke down! Sail was put up and almost got us back to Mylor before running aground where we sat enjoying the tranquility until the tide turned and we were towed back in!! Great first experience with a very calm but a little embarrassed, yachtsman!!
