Hasting Ontario: October-May in the Engine Room

While at the Hastings Village Marina, I foolishly volunteered to learn more about the Engine Room. My task was to top off the Inverter Batteries with Distilled Water. There are three Inverter Battery Boxes. Each one more difficult to reach than the last one. As you will see below, I am going with full disclosure. Also a foolish mistake. 



When Jack And I were training with Captains Chris and Alyse Caldwell of Captain Chris Yacht Services, I told Chris one of my goals was to travel on a boat so that I could always locate in an area where the weather would be like the weather in the months of October and May. From that day to this, he always calls me October-May. 

The Engine Room is no place for October -May...

    Your goal to travel by boat is very interesting. In my opinion, it’s one of the best ways to enjoy and appreciate the area's surroundings and views. That being said, knowing a thing or two about the engine room will really be a huge help. And in my opinion, there is no better way to learn about one than to have first-hand experience. It may not be as successful as you’ve envisioned it to be, but it was still a rewarding experience.
