LIST OF POTENTIAL PROJECTS
Owning Lucky Enough isn’t just about cruising the Rideau Canal — it’s about continuously improving, refining, and personalizing our floating cottage. Below is a growing list of upgrades, tweaks, and enhancements I anticipate tackling along the way.
| Project | Category | Priority | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starlink Mini Install | Technology | Medium | Planned | Dependent on how reliable cell reception proves to be on the Rideau Canal. Also depends on whether we continue using the Starlink Standard system we already own instead of purchasing a Mini unit. |
| Helm Electronics Optimization | Navigation | Medium | Planned | Fine-tune Navionics setup on iPad, evaluate dedicated chartplotter integration, and organize helm layout for simplicity and safety. |
| Fender Management System | Docking | Low | Planned | Explore rack or rail-mounted storage solution to keep cockpit tidy while maintaining quick deployment. |
| Interior Storage Optimization | Comfort | Low | Planned | Improve galley and berth storage so multi-day trips feel organized and clutter-free. |
| Engine Room Inspection Lighting | Maintenance | Medium | Planned | Add improved lighting to simplify visual checks and make routine inspections easier. |
This list will evolve as we gain experience with Lucky Enough. Some projects may move up in priority. Others may disappear once we realize they’re unnecessary. That’s part of the journey.
