CP 16 upgrades from the Keys

[high tide is up]

Hello all,
Well it's been a few months that I've been working on my boat.  My neighbor gave me the tubing from his old bimini.  I cut it down to the proper size and covered it with some "pink" canvas that someone had given me.  Yes you guys it's pink  ...after all it is a "girl" boat and I do live in the Keys ha ha ha. So for the price of the hardware waaaa laaaaa a new bimini!!

I hand painted the name and number on...yes pink of course!!!


Some blue indoor outdoor carpeting and binding made from the pink canvas made a nice addition under my feet.

I've since added a new ladder and wait till you see the sails....pics to follow.
It's been quite breezy here with some major gusts so it's been a good time to work on her. Water temp is finally up in the high 70's so maybe some pics from the water next time.
Just wanted to add that I LOVE all the posts on this sight and it's been most helpful!!!
I hope no one falls over when you see the pink and blue Miss Ellie ha ha ha
Till next time...

Great job! keep it up! 

Take some pics of your surroundings so my wife and I can dream of Florida........ LOL
I am sure your water is nicer looking than ours is at our lake.

   Very cool, Dawn and great work! Gotta be the first pink bimini I've ever seen but it  looks cool! Do you have a pink flamingo as a mascot for the boat? Hahahaha...! I think the pink and blue combination work great. Maybe a few pink accents on the trailer might look nice too. It's refreshing to see the work of a talented painter who is not afraid of color.
Bob23- I love my pink shirts! It's a guy thing!

Thanks Bob...Yeah I can't remember ever seeing a pink bimini either....even here in the Keys...and as far as your pink shirts keep coloring outside the lines ha ha ha!!!  The sails are pretty cool too!!  Wait till you see them.

Hey Mac... I can't wait to get out on the water and start taking more pics.....dang wind though....18 to 20 is too much for this newbie to attempt though...and why does it always seem to pick up on the weekends when I'm off Arghhhhhh...oh well with 365 days of sailing available here I'm sure I'll get cut a break sooner or later ha ha ha

Hayward, Wis. still a foot of snow on ground and lake still frozen, Walleye opened did not happen yesterday....................enjoy and never complain about the hum. or heat, if we could get out of here we would be with you........................nies

Ok Dawn don't tell my you have pink sails. Not that I'd put it past you. Or that there's anything wrong with pink sails.
A few years ago there was a girl here with a 23 named Blonde Ambition. Yeah, she was blonde and wrote some great stories about her sailing adventures and misadventures. And she found this broght yellow bottom paint somewhere! Classic.

Nope no pink sails but they're pretty cool just the same

no way there's still snow out there   unbelievable!!!!  I guess I should not complain about water temps under 80 degrees then huh??

[Bob23]

Ah, no Dawn:
   You should not in any way conceivable in any fashion complain about water temps below 80. One of those snow-bound Compac-o-nauts might just send you down a dump truck full of snow!
Hahahaha.....!!!!!

Great work, Dawn!

I love seeing someone who loves their boat and goes the extra miles to really enjoy it.

I am driving down to Sugarloaf Key for a week of camping and mischief starting Wednesday.  I was on the fence about towing the boat all the way down and braving the dreaded tidal currents but this single photo has steeled my resolve.  Incidentally, if I am lost to sea this week, you are %5 to blame.
