    Default Got some shade now.


    I must admit this is the first year the heat has given me pause. Just can't stay out in it as I used to. So put the bimini on. The pic of it strapped to the cleat will be used for running at speed. The pic of it strapped to the eye pad is for on station fishing to give me a little more room to fish. Yes I know it is black...but after several phone calls to Sunbrella.....and emails to Boat Covers Direct......and reading a lot of forum posts about dark biminis.....I was convinced it really did not make much difference the color for bimini tops. Will have to get out on the water to see how I am going to like it. If it gets in the way I can move it back...I mounted it on a slide track system.......and still be able to take some breaks in the shade. So now just got to get on the water.

    Regards

    Looks great! We used ours for the first time last weekend. It's a learning curve for sure dealing with the bimini, 14 ft rods and the net. Going for round 2 next weekend when Paul is off again.

    Shade is a life saver or maybe a fishin trip saver
    Every day is a holiday and every meal is a picnic.

    I put one on my boat last summer so that my wife would not have to sit in the sun as I fished. I must admit I was a little jealous of her as I was sitting in the sun and her and the dog ion the shade. I have run 32 mph wife the top up with no problems. it will slow you down a little if y0u leave it up. It can be dropped in a matter of seconds.
