We are headed to the Bahamas on a 31 center console and are staying on the boat for 7-10 days. We will be exploring remote areas but will have access to fuel, fresh water and other necessities by stopping at different ports.
Some of us will be sleeping on the deck and others will be using hammocks. One of our main concerns is sleeping or getting under a cover in order to avoid rain at night. To that end, i have thought about using an ordinary blue tarp (or better) and cutting/customizing it to fit around the bow and sides of the boat (about a foot over) and over the front of the T-Top. I would have a ridgeline from the front of the T Top to the bow cleat (see red line on picture) and run a line from the bow cleat to the stern cleat on each side (see red lines on picture). the line from the bow to the stern would be used to hold down the tarp (the tarp outline is in yellow in the picture) over the side of the boat, using short bungee cords. Looking for some feedback from experienced members.
Thanks in advance.
