A room with a view

Mary did a little seamstress work this weekend.

A little background glossary for the non-sailor.
A dodger is the canvas and plastic (really Sunbrella and Isenglass) cover that is at the forward part of the cockpit. It's called a dodger because it helps you dodge all the wind and waves being blown or foamed at you.

A bimini is the canvas and plastic cover that in our case encloses the rest of the cockpit (some have just a roof). I have no idea why it's called a bimini.
Together they form a sort of florida room on the boat, and make the cockpit nice and dry and toasty in cool weather. Of course that's nice and dry and sauna like in hot weather - so all that Isenglass has to be removable and screens replace it.

Our dodger is connected to the bimini with a solid piece of canvas. The connector blocked the view forward to only what you could see by ducking down and peering out the dodger window.

Mary fixed that in her first foray into sewing with Isenglass. This is 40 gauge stuff, tough. Here's the results.
