G'day fellas
I showed the hardware I made for the canopy earlier. Here is the finished product. The back flap folds over the front and the whole thing is height and incline adjustable. If I can sort out the motor tomoz then will be spending a day out on the water to see if the canopy is a keeper

Some pics from today
If any of you have been to Volivoli in Rakiraki, Fiji then this area might be familiar. My inlaws farm is at the apex of the bay. Volivoli Beach Resort, home to the boat "Half Cast" which offers GT charters run by the resort is at the northern tip. There is a private mooring half way in between belonging to one of the locals who was kind enough to let me use it for the next few weeks. I left the boat there yest eve after her first wetting. The plan for today was to drop the mrs and the lil one at the resort and then her cousin and I would go back to the mooring and and take the boat to go join them
Here is the boat at the mooring seen from the resort driveway up the hill at he start of the bay. That bit is in the lee and well protected from the prevailing winds. Was a relief to spot the boat floating lazily in calm water with the 20 knot+ blowing across the bay. Leaving home earlier in the day I could picture all sorts of scenarios from the boat sitting on the bottom flooded to hanging on the breakwall to missing altogether
