Anyone know where I can get a bimini? It's hot here in Florida and "Aurora" needs a bimini, for me! Any help will be appreciated.

Steve : Contact any of the local canvas shops and I'm sure that they'll make you up one.  Use 1" stainless tubing.

A couple of the requirements that I stipulated when I had mine made:
1. A very light color, so it's cool underneath.  I have the same white one I had made back in 1991.  I'll have a new white one made this fall.
2. To go aft as far as possible so it covers the helms person (ME)
3. Mount it on the stern pulpit.  That makes it stronger and it it clears more of the docking area than having the supports mounted on the coaming.
A few thoughts.  :wink:
