I broke some poles in a squall that moved through so I've now pieced them together and am trying to make the awning flatter. I'll wait till we're at a marina and then maybe be albe to flatten it more. When the wind blows and catches it as we sail on the anchor she puts quiet a strain on the setup.

On the other hand; boaters in the tropics that don't have a full boat awning. Ugh! Like living in an oven.

Go Slow
Sail Far
Stay Long
