After nearly four years of a extraordinary and wonderful adventure with Emerald Sea its time to say farewell...for now. What began as a childhood dream has evolved into a project thats taken us over three oceans, thousands of miles, many lands, new friends and cultures ... and we did it safely. Rose and I have never been challenged as much and yet rewarded as much during this period as in the previous 50-odd years of our lives. It will be a bitter-sweet goodbye to see our catamaran leave us but it was always a 3 year sabbatical that we stretched into 4 years and so we move on. A new page awaits to be turned.

Thanks to all those wonderful cruisers and we've met along the way. Its truly a collaborative community joined at the hip! And to all those family and friends who have followed along with us.

And to all those out there that have dreams. Keep finding those moments of discovery, hope and taking risks. The rewards are indescribable.

Rose & Steve
