After me, you're first in line
Rallens, everyone --
I have been in contact with the owner for a couple of weeks and we have resolved all of the issues so that I can attempt to raise her. It won't be next weekend (tides are all wrong) but rather the 15th. I have my diver lined up, my float bags, and some labor and services to assist if the stars align, distant or otherwise.
I'm glad to hear she's not full of mud, but it may be settled in places that can't be seen or felt from the cockpit. Still, it sounds better than most of us imagined.
You, and everyone else on this list who can make it, are welcome to come out and help or just cheer for us (and her). It has taken quite a bit of organization just to get the pieces (people, supplies, and equipment) in place, but I'm pretty sure she's coming out of there on the rising tide 10/15/09. I'll be posting here in the days leading up to the resurrection.
John
