One of my boat projects this summer is to repair the roll-up sunshades.  They get a lot of abuse from the wind when deployed.  I made several patches out of Sunbrella.  The repairs are not going to be pretty, just functional.

 

Here is an example of a wear spot.  The shades are pulled across our stainless life lines and there are several areas that get a lot of abrasion.

 

Simple patches will prolong the life of the shade.

 

Reinstalled the shade should be good for another few years.  One side done, another to do on another day.

On the Duane side of the house, he's installed the new smaller water heater and an accumulator tank the salt water in the extra space.  This will aid the watermaker.

 

 

 

And on a fun note, Breathe joined us at the dock for a few days!

 

We had a nice visit for sundowners with them.  Now we're getting everything ready for Tropical Storm Ophelia....should just be a lot of rain and flooding....
