Just kidding - we are just building a winter cover over the deck. There can be long periods of continuous rain in the Pacific NW, and we still have a lot of work to do on deck, so this will really help everyone work more efficiently and comfortably. We also only get 8 hours of sunlight during mid-winter, so the tent will allow us to light the deck more conveniently.
The only question is - can we just leave it up when we go sailing?!
