This is the time of year I tend to keep my kayak on top of my vehicle
all the times, as it is now warming up, but we are still having high
winds and lots more light at night for evening sorties. It is also a
great time of year for big tides and they even fall on a few good
weekends this spring. So, here's my kayak, suffering UV damage until
later in the summer when I tend to store it a bit more.

I'd like to sew up a half-cover for the kayak, deck top surface only,
with web straps that go under the hull to keep it in place. Anyone done
anything like that? What kind of material? I know one can purchase whole
boat bags, but I just want to cover the top deck and have it easily
removable, etc.
Any ideas?
