Str. NATCHEZ layup

The NATCHEZ is in her annual January layup, but with a twist: she had to gather herself and come back to Toulouse, today I believe, for a one day charter event, and then it is back into layup mode. The jackstaff has been replaced, a new steam line to the calliope installed, the usual outer painting, and the dining room has been completely repainted and recarpeted. The usual NATCHEZ crew is aided (and after hours abetted) by the trio from Lake George: Matt(Bubba), Rocky, and Anthony. Matt has posted pix on his Facebook page of the activities so far, so if you do Facebook, check out 'Matt Dow'. It looks like they've actually had some decent January weather for a change, at least no rain.
