The black hole of Calcutta
28 March 2010
Evelyn and I began the "ultimate oil change" today: We pulled Northern Symphony's venerable engine that has always brought us home out of its home of the past two decades and unceremoniously deposited it in the cockpit. The good news is that I can now start the many mini-projects that are needed to create the engine space that the new engine (due to be delivered at the end of April) will be installed in. The bad news is that not all of the oil was in the engine! In fact, as you can see in the picture, the entire engine compartment looks like a toxic oil spill. Job one would appear to be a major cleaning...
