My father loves to fish! When my sister & I were little, my dad would appreciate to take us out of the boat, she would fish & my mother would sunbathe! My sister & I would play with our toys in the lodge while listening to music… The only downfall of these mornings on the boat was how hot it would get after a few hours, then on the mornings with little to no cloud coverage, the heat would be unbearable. My dad tried to put a fan in the lodge to help cool it down on those hot mornings, but it did not help. One day, she came condo from a yard sale with a portable a/c for the boat. She was so happy to test her current a/c that she decided to take the boat out that night for a sunset cruise. She abruptly put the portable AC in the boat & loaded us into the truck. We were out on the water in under an hour. We went down our official path & turned on the AC. The cool air abruptly filled the lodge & we knew our sweltering boat mornings were behind us. We used the portable AC for numerous years before my dad decided to sell the boat. She updated her boat & it came with a built in a/c, so there was no need to keep the garage sale air conditioning system! I am happy my dad found that air conditioning system. It made my sister & I have a much more enjoyable boating experience as children.
