This is Del Viento's new covered wagon look, at least while at anchor or at the dock. It keeps the cockpit dry in the rain and will keep the boat cool in the Mexican sun. It is a Shadetree awning passed down to us from our friends aboard Dreamweaver, who got it from our friends aboard Principia. It gusted 40 knots in the marina a couple days after we set it up and it did remarkably well.
