Yes, Next Phase is sold and now cruising with her new owners, Lorna and Dave, around Moreton Bay before heading south to Coffs Harbour.
We have a lot of wonderful memories of our trips with Next Phase but we are now looking forward to getting our new boat in May - a Seawind 1160. We hope to spend more time on her as we venture further afield.
So the blog will be silent for a while as we await the new cat and ponder the hardest question of all - what to call her!
