I don’t. But I can’t get one

Thanks guys! I’ll get crafty with it and report back with some pics

Hey ya’ll, so I have a 19ft Open Bow that I’ll be taking on a trip soon. My plan is to sleep on it and prep for a possible damp morning and cold morning temps.. I’ll be on the ocean (Catalina). Trying to pick a few brains on ideas, I can maybe throw a clear piece of plastic over the Bimini and...
