Tuesday December 16th
Well we are slowly getting braver with the sailing and mostly sail with both main and gib up. Today and yesterday are the first real summer days with no clouds and very hot but of course the down side with a 'high' is not much wind. We do need to have the motor going for half and hour a day to keep the fridge/freezer cold. We are now back in the Queen Charlotte sound and have booked a berth in Waikawa from Dec 24th until Jan 3rd and will spend Christmas and New Years with family and friends. I have had a lot of trouble with my bottom front teeth and gums they are often very sensitive and sore but I have no idea why (I'm a bit over the top on cleaning - maybe exposed the gum and nerves) so I'm going to go to the dentist on Wednesday 17th and will see if they can shed any light on the matter. Or if anyone else can help from their own experience I'd be most grateful.
Right now we are motoring in to Ruakaka bay to visit a friend.
