Mickey loved all the action
they had to reposition the hooks
Another beautiful morning in Columbus. The sun is shining, not a whisp of a cloud in sight. The temperature is another matter, however. At the moment it’s 41F or 5C with the highs soaring to 59F/15C. I never travel without warm clothes and lots of blankets. The hull has an Airex core which is a good insulator and we have a little heater to make it easier to get out of bed.
The engine was removed on Tuesday. Seems like we’ve entered the twilight zone and can’t find our way home. A new engine is not advisable or affordable, but Chris is confident that once the work is done the engine will be like new. Probably better, for we’ll be diligently caring. We’ll also be mostly sailing for that’s what this Southern Cross was meant to do.
I think that lovely as the name is, it’s time to give her a name that truly makes her ours. We'll let you know when we find the right one.
An interesting bit of data about Columbus. This town was not far from Shiloh and many of the wounded men, both Northern and Southern soldiers, were treated in the homes all around here. H.M.Stanley of Stanley and Livingston fame found himself as a 21 year old, fighting for the south in that most awful battle.
