9 Lives went back into the water at about 10:00am this morning. Had a little trouble getting the diesel to fire, but persistence paid off and she started up. The Manatee Boat Yard is really a tight little yard so moving from the lift to the slip was interesting. Fortunately there was little wind and we had a yard hand to help us get around a really crowded corner. We've decided to stay here through Christmas and then head on out. That way we'll be able to Skype with Andrea and Ky on Christmas Day. Marilyn got an email from Tom yesterday, but we still don't know where he is. Sounds like there is a good possibility that he'll be home on or near Christmas. We hope so!!
The picture is 9 Lives next to another boat. We're now back off the highway, which is close to the boat yard, so the traffic sounds are much better than where we were when she was still on land. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Marilyn just got a call from Tom!!!! He's in the Crete airport waiting for a plane. They're sending him all over to get home, but he doesn't care as long as it ends up back in the US. Our Christmas will be much better now even though we won't be able to be together. I'll try to post more as things develop.
