Twenty-six miles across the sea, and all that. It remains as it was 50 years ago, a remarkable secret unknown to most of Los Angeles. Video here.

I really like the awning. I've been using the rain fly from my mom's Coleman tent over the boom but if there's any breeze at all it makes a lot of noise.She looks good!
I must say, I like the awning more than the beach umbrella shade solution
The awing is dead simple and easy to make with a home sewing machine. For the E381, the dimensions are 10'x13'. A slot in the fabric is provided so the awning covers the companionway.
It is held in place by four lines attached to the 1.5" PVC end caps. They are tied to stays forward and to the stern pulpit aft. The Sunbrella is tensioned merely by tightening them up so the PCV pipes bend.
If wind at mooring gets gusty, strings can be attached to steady the rig, attached to tabs on the cloth and to the lifelines.
Can't sail with such an awning, but it replaces both dodger and bimini when moored. For sailing, a removable umbrella.

I was there as well, Friday through Tuesday, anchored at little fisherman's. If I had seen Thelonious I would have been nearby yelling "Yamerschooner"... but you were spared.
