Whatever EE's costs so far are, you can add $160 for the nice lightweight burgundy bimini that just arrived ! Maybe the "gypsy rains named hurricanes" will let this one stay aboard this time. One Sixty for her new Bimini??? Sunbrella? as for what we have in Rag Time...lost count after 10k...

we have both a tiller tamer for times when power is an issue and for day sailing, when we cruise we use the TP1000 gtreat unit but can be a power hog, easy to hook up but we never use either one crossing the stream.
