“I’d always heard it was obvious, but I don’t see an obvious cross”
Never heard one way or the about “obvious”. In February 1967, in the Mekong Delta I looked up one night and saw the Southern Cross plain as day. It might as well have been in neon lights.
Thanks for your service.
I went sailing 3 times in Maine on a Schooner (Lewis R. French - oldest boat in the fleet). It’s a great getaway, BTW.
Anyway, there was an guy who’s brother had died and so he said he was spending his own retirement money and his brother’s. He went sailing every year. He also told me that he went sailing in the southern hemisphere, on a tramp freighter. He’s the one who told me that no one had to point out the sourthern cross; he said it was obvious. But I’ve never seen it.
