Cold! This is still warm.

It's kind of weird to be sat in the Hauraki Gulf,the years shortest day quite close, with the news of severe cold weather and snow over NZ. It's still alot warmer now than our 'summer' and we have all the anchorages to ourselves (just as we did down south). The day is quite superb with blue skies, a warm sun, and a lovely 15 to 20 knot beam wind. A great sail across to Waiheke was had a bit of maintenance this afternoon.
