This will be my last entry on this blog. Next Life has been sold by the insurance company and we are thrilled about who bought her: it's our friends Bob and Catherine from Kevalli House! They are planning to fix her up and use her as a research vessel. We are very happy about Next Life's new purpose in her next life and wish Bob and Catherine good luck with all the work and safe travels.
Meanwhile, Rolf and I are looking forward to getting back on the water with another Lagoon 450. We will most likely call her "Second Chance" and be back in The Bahamas next winter.
Dear Silke and Rolf,
ReplyDeleteWe are terribly sorry about Next Life's accident we just read at Cruiser's Forum. We know what you've been experiencing before the grounding as we and our two kids cruised the Med and Caribbean with our Lagoon 450 hull #60, "Hippocampo".
We are moving to a bigger boat to go to South Pacific, so Hippocampo is available for sale at Ft Lauderdale, in case you are interested send us a message (hippo450@gmail.com).
Best wishes and fair winds,
Kika and Rafael
Hippocampo Catamaran
Dear Silke & Rolf
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read about the grounding and the loss of Next Life.
We are taking our dog Bumble with us on the ARC 2013 and have loved reading your blog and wondered if you could share your experiences in taking Chester with you through the Caribbean Islands.
Hope to hear from you.
