Stuff that's in the aft cabin is bath towels, bedding, the snorkel gear for
both of us, and a 12 string guitar....can't see where I would ditch any of
it....and I hate biminis...had one on the O'Day and was nothing but a
problem and one more thiong we'd have to dosmantle in really bad
weather...tarps are cheap and we're not leaving it up indefinitely, only
when we need it...and no, our boat is a sloop...standard rig and would look
very peculiar with a wheelhouse....
thanks, though, if you ever want any tips on where they're having sales on
Rustoleum, I can be of help..

Congrats on moving aboard. Soon you will find out that all the junk
filling you aft cabin is just that and will slowley let go of stuff. So
happy for you that you made the move aboard and out of the polar
regions.

Is your boat a center cockpit? Ketch?

Might consider a bimini, those blue tarps suck big time, just wait a
week until it's starts coming apart. Your MrSails is a genious he can
build you a wheelhouse, Its like another cabin, and become the favored
place during storms ect to enjoy the view.

If you need any liveaboard tips feel free to ask:0)
