Spray Dodger Back On

1. No Dodger

2. Dodger with Window Covers

Francisco brought the repaired spray dodger yesterday morning as promised.  His work was good and I was happy with the price that I paid.  Bob Carroll was on board with one of his boat cushions to discuss work that he wanted done.

This morning I put the dodger up and welcomed the added privacy from passers by on the jetty as much as the sun protection for the windows.  While I was at it I put up the "link sheet" that spans the gap between the bimini and the spray dodger.  Then I zipped on the port cockpit sun screen to protect the cockpit from the morning sun.  I need to take every practical measure to keep the boat as cool as possible.  Today the temperature peaked at 101.9F compared yesterday's 104F.

I may have to take the canvas back down in a few days because "Hilary" has become a fully fledged hurricane and is predicted to pass comfortably west of La Paz in about 5 days (http://eebmike.com/), but one never tell with a hurricane.
