Constructing a windscreen for the SeaPro

Thanks to Mike Smedley, I have been able to construct a wind screen for the Seapro that I will be completely functional.  But trying to use the voice recognition to type and find the appropriate options for adding photos to the blog seems impossible.  I may have to wait until I can use a desktop computer to connect with blogger.com to add this post.

Okay, I think I am able to post photos in the blog using the iPad. But many of the options available in a desk top to organize the blog are missing.

Unfortunately, it's the nature of clear plastic to hide in a photo.

This photo shows the wind screen deployed for use on the water.  The red straps at the top retain the rolled up windscreen when hauling on the road.

This photo shows the wind screen rolled up and secured for hauling on the road.

The red web strap on each side help hold the windscreen in place and are in addition to the vertical Velcro that is secured by adhesive to both the plastic and the stainless steel upright.

They sell adhesive Velcro is held on the stainless steel upright with stainless steel cable ties.  They are visible above and below the T top brace nuckle.  There are cable ties at each end of the Velcro to be sure it stays in place while deploying the wind screen.

This photo shows how the end of the wind screen looks when it is rolled up or travel.  The short section of rope in the photo is used to hold a pulley that is necessary to life COW stripers when a photo is needed.  A clear plastic hammock to hold the fish horizontal will be a future project.  Bill is in favor of a crane to lift the COWS on board.  The point is that Bill and I cannot lift a cow striper for a photo with out some kind of mechanical help.

Thanks to Mike Smedley's constant reminder that keeping it "simple is better", I was able to complete this project.  Of course, I haven't tested the windscreen on the water to be sure it will be completely functional. I will make a test run on the water in a few days to be sure everything stays in place at full speed.
