Not quite learning to sail - Learning how the boat moves and handles with the outboard on

Really this was my 2nd sail. I went the week before but I lost all my footage as I lost my old GoPro whilst capsizing about 8 times!

True to form, there was absolutely no wind today so I decided to tinker with the boat a bit and then put the electric outboard on and learn how the boat feels. It ended up a really great day because it taught me a lot about how the Mirror Dinghy moves and handles. I definitely ended the day with my brain understanding all the twitches, pitching and rolling a lot better. I no longer seem to panic so much about it and am sure the day will help on my next sail
