....is back in place with a new face lift. To the tune of several million dollars. The official opening party is tomorrow and she looks good, all wood deck and even the pontoons have a deck coating. I'll get a couple pics tomorrow and post em. Otrabana to Punda is now just a walk away!

Tony,
Wish I could have made the party but looking forward to your pics :D
 
Glad I got to see her "before" now I have an excuse to come see the "after".....might as well dive some since I am there. :) That is a cool old bridge.

and a couple more. The deck is (I believe) wood from Africa or Indonesia (pardon my spelling) called IROKO, a hardwood that actually sinks in the water... Pretty dense, huh?
I went over to the harbor several times while she was under repair, and a lot of the timbers were re-used, although there were a lot of new glue-lams.

Come see her in person!
