The little elves at Doyles have been busy and christmas arrived early for us today with the completion of three jobs by them for us - cockpit cushions, new dinghy tube covers, and new genoa. Although we are not taking delivery of our new genoa just yet (gotta show off Nana's Old Kickers once more), we're planning to head off early Sat morning for a trip out to Waiheke to try a few of the new systems on board (freezer, and how the batteries cope with it) and try out the new dink. I'm sure the dogs will be happy to explore some new beaches and it will be nice to be out on the hook once again.
