Fly Bridge....

Even though we live in the Northwest we spent most of the time on the flybridge between May and September as long as it wasn't raining. Being addicted sun worshipers as long as it wasn't too cold or the conditions too snotty we really liked the view from up top. As far as tight maneuvering the view of the corners of the boat and just how close we were to docks, the beach, other boats was far superior from on top. I had a great alarm system that would alert us of pretty much everything that would cause too much harm. Personally I liked to get as far away from the machinery as possible while underway.. With a engine room under foot the main helm was like sitting on the hood of a truck.
