Just ordered a new bimini (sun) cover for my Princecraft Yukon. I
decided
to get one because I tend to get burned the first really good sunny day
each
season....we usually have so much overcast weather in the late spring
that a
good hot day catches us a bit unprepared.
Now I might even get my fair skinned wife out for a cruise.
Anyway, I ordered the top from a manufacturer in Quebec who also makes
the
official Princecraft 'Sun Top' version. Mine will be better, with real
Sunbrella, stainless steel hardware upgrade and with the back support
poles
in place of rear straps.
All that and about $100.00 cheaper. I should look quite dapper with the
Cadet Gray top over the blue sides and gray hull.

If you burn easily a bimini will help but a large hat and SPF50
sunscreen will help even more. The sun has a way of finding its way
around biminis, and you also get quite a bit reflected from the water.




Wayne is right, even under a bimini you will get burned so wear a hat
and use sunscreen.


Try Solumbra (http://www.sunprecautions.com/). They make SPF-rated
clothing.
Works wonderfully, and you don't need as much chemicals on your skin.

You don't want to mess with skin cancer.


Thanks. I was going to try it but I'm glad I decided to mess with
pancreatic cancer instead. I'm not sure where to start, but I'll keep you
posted.


Just say no.
