Our last cruise around the Chesapeake Bay emphasized how important shade is. With a nice breeze, and the sails up, shade is less important, but on those hot sunny days with no wind, a bimini is a necessity.

We ordered some sunbrella fabric on-line, and, last week-end made some measurements, and over the last two nights, after work, Sharon and I have constructed our bimini. We will test it out this Saturday and see how it fits.
