Finished stitching the cover for the mini bimini we put together last week.

This re-uses old bits of sunbrella pieces from our former (torn)canvas dodger, and the piece that used to snap over the windows.

It's not a perfect perfect fit(worked with what I had), but at least it'll keep us a bit more cool when steering this summer, and it means we can extend the life of the bit of sunbrella we already had on hand.

This is the thread that shows the frame we put together:
merveilles.town/@neauoire/1103

A note: this is just to shield us from the sun, and to act as a platform for a very lightweight solar panel. We nicknamed it 'the roll cage'(sometimes we think ourselves funny) but it is far from indestructible :>. A sturdier design would be through-bolted(pipes and deck), and its something we plan to do once we re-install a hard panel overtop, or if the boat wanders into rougher waters.
