Columbia River Day Sails and Tomahawk bay Marina

I just wanted to post a few pictures of the river at various times of day... If you see buildings with lights, I'm probably looking west... Mt Hood is up river due east.  That's the November 14, 2016 Perigee Super Moon at the bottom. The closest the moon has been to the earth since 1948 and until November 2034.

Clear Companionway Hanging Cover

It gets pretty dark in Oregon during the winter.  If the late sunrise and early sunset isn't enough, we get an average of 39" rainfall per year which means grey clouds and the sun AWOL for days at a time.  During mosquito season this summer I installed a hanging screen for the companionway by screwing a snap on top of each side of the companionway hatch.



That screen worked so well, that I recently went to TAP Plastics and bought a sheet of 20mm clear acrylic. The sheet has snaps on each upper corner for attaching to the hatch.














The clear sheet simply hangs down over the companionway.

The 20mm sheet is heavy enough to lay flat, yet light enough to easily roll up of flop up onto the hatch.

On the right is a view into the cabin when it is dark outside.





Below is the view of the light yet rainy cockpit... It helps that Sedna has a fully enclosed cockpit.
