Engine Room

I took a tour to the engine room to better understand the running of the ship.
As you can see the space was small and the most memorable thing was seeing where they cut through the hull to remove and service the large diesel engines that require regular servicing.
Suffice to say with a boat this size and workload the chance of things breaking down are quite common.
One of the more interesting stories is that some of the islands we visit are sacred First Nation sites and people sometimes bring back mementos which if you are superstitious may create some problems.
The story goes that a guest bought a rock back from one of these sacred islands and that evening three separate systems on the boat stopped working…requiring some running repairs.
Bronson (the captain) also had some other superstitious stories that he shared and admitted to not wanting to use the number 13 regularly.Meer informatie
