Can Crusher and Horn

Yesterday, MY Jane drove me back to Midland as I had a few things to do on board. My friend, Paul, came over and we took the horn apart. It consists of two trumpets. Turns out it was not an air horn after all, but an electric one. We managed to get additional wire connected to it and try it. No luck. Then Paul suggested we just try connecting both trumpets directly to his truck battery. Eureka! One of the horns worked! So we connected that one to the horn button on the boat and now have one functioning trumpet horn. The other is just for looks.

Another job I wanted to do was to install a can crusher because empty pop and beer cans can take up a lot of space. When we are out on the water, this can become an issue. Crushing cans can save up to 3/4 of the space so it’s a good thing. Paul was a big help on this job too.

It sure is nice to wake up on Georgian Spirit on Georgian Bay!
