Bimini & Fans

Post by windrose »

Damn it's hot!

Thought I was going to be cooler on the water, I gotta have some shade!
and some air down below. Gotta go find that windsock and pronto!

Show me your bimini's.... suggestions for mounting. Thinking I had rather it ride back further than usual to keep easy access forward over the coamings. Ideas/ suggestions.

Guess I am thinking a couple of those little Hella fans dropping down from the cabin ceiling right at the bulkhead, couple in the v berth?

Yeah BABY! Heading out on Friday for the run up to the Rhode and then on into the West. I had in mind the same thing.

I've been a few hundred miles with that set up..... I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.... at least not now.... aaaaAAAARRRGH!

Well, "approved" might be slightly too strong a word! hehe But let's definitely say that it sure beat the alternative! (baking in the sun, that is...)

Yes, it did keep anyone from anchoring too close, though! hehe
