M/Y Blue Waves back on its Keel

+++ Yipppyy, she's swimming again.!!
Our Blue Waves got some renovations done and spent most of January with sand beneath her keel. Everything went great and we've done a few new things plus the usual maintenance to bring her back in 'Ship-shape.'
I had a big smile from relief as I saw her back at sea and for this I would like to say a big 'Thank You' to the crew. Especially, Captain Maher Gomaa and Mechanic Hani Elsaid, who worked and assisted to see it all through, that all ran like clockwork (an Egyptian clock of course but none the less a clock) till punctual completion. Onboard will be a good chance for anyone to hear the handful of funny stories about how smooth it all went.
Here are a few highlights from dry dock:/www.bluewaves.ch/photos/dry-dock-time-2010/

+++ Tis' the Season - a review
Well it's been awhile but here are a few still legal photos from our holiday tours from Christmas and the New Year. www.bluewaves.ch/photos/holiday-tours-2010/
The happy party mood stayed from day one till in the New Year when we had to say good-bye and go back to the frozen north.
