The Bimini is on!!! I LOVE it. Day by day... piece by piece... the boat IS coming together. Although it has truly been a struggle :-( at times. When we ordered the new canvas top for the back deck, because of the SIZE we had to get a Bimini made for a Pontoon boat ... aka Party Barge. Little did we know that the rails on a Pontoon boat are Square tube rails while our boat has Round tube rails....... Hmmmmm... Thankfully... my hubby was able to make square pegs fit into round holes and it looks AWESOME! Thanks Baby... :-) I even decided to take on sewing the canvas covers for the front windows. After finding the perfect material and thread I spent days cutting and planning.... Unfortunately my sewing machine had other ideas and decided it did NOT want to sew through the heave canvas... So today I am going to hit up one of my neighbors here at the marina who has a heavy duty machine. Maybe if I offer cookies??? We have fun plans for Labor Day. The Yacht Club is cruising out for a Hobo weekend. Meeting up Friday at noon here in Bremerton, then its off for a weekend of One Oar Dingy races, Dingy parades and even a Derelict Fashion Show.... Mimosa, BBQ, Games and Prizes.. sounds like so much fun!!!! I gotta get those front curtains done! LOL. AND I have to hit up Goodwill today so I can get started on my Hobo costume for the fashion show.... You KNOW I'm gonna walk down THAT runway... LOL
