    @11:11 is adorable.
    I'm glad you take ciguatera seriously. So many don't and end up sick. Thanks for the Bahama diving and sailing.

      RE: Ciguatera: I have two fish biologist friends that did 7 years of cruising on a sailboat in mostly the pacific ocean. They decided to just not eat fish since it is always a risk in +/-35 lats ... and hard to determine the actual risk. You would have to ask at more than 10 locals that live off of fish for multiple years to determine a "safe species" but still knowing this data is typically from less educated/methodical persons. It was not so hard for them to not eat fish when they had also worked around them for years in hatcheries and canneries! Keep in mind there is no cure other than anticonvulsant and antidepressive pharma to cope with the chronic pain. Also keep in mind that there are many "symptomatic diseases" in modern AMA medicine ... many like fibromyalgia that have similar chronic pain that are never investigated with questions/data collection like being asked about seafood intake!

    For the fabric and the screen, you can get any type of Canvas Duct, Vinyl, or Denim that has a nice weight to it. You might also add some velcro or magnets to the sides to keep the screen close. The screen you did is just too big but too big is better than too small. You can take some paper and draw your window out on it and then add an inch or two then finish it off. Once you have your template, lay down on your current screen and cut around it, just leave enough room to cover the whole window and attach it to the boat. You can get white metal tape, then just put some metal magnet strips on your screens. I just researched it on Amazon. I am a designer, started out designing wedding gowns, then went to costumes, and now I am designing custom furniture to build for my house. Basically, if there is fabric involved I can engineer it! Hope this helps. Oh, the Canvas Duct and Denim will need to be washed to preshrink before sewing, because you will want to be able to wash them. The vinyl won't need washing you can just wipe it off.

    I was a navy diver stationed on guam for almost 6 years. All i did was spear fish and fish. The island was overrun with booney cats. Whenever the locals got a questionable fish, they fed some of the fish to a booney cat and watched them. If the cat ate the fish, it was safe. If the cat refused it, they would throw the fish away. The cats could tell.

    Billy, I would highly caution against the tiger grouper! Back in ‘04 I got a bad case of ciguatera from a tiger grouper about that size, no larger, in the out islands, not San Salvador but Crooked Island. Happy Winging! Glad to see you adopt that sport, it’s the perfect boating accessory, takes less wind than windsurfing and easier to setup on a boat than kiting!!

    For the screens I would look at rubber gasket material from Sailrite. It is made for keeping water out but would work for bugs and it would likely tighten up the screens as well. I have had terrible luck with adhesive Velcro on the boat . When it gets hot it slides around and eventually falls off making a sticky mess.

    Hi cousin, The material used as a border to the screen appears to be 4” wide Dacron tape folded in half. Available from Sailrite or sailmaking supply store. Fold tape in half and use the backside of your scissors to make the crease. Heat seal the edges of the tape tp prevent fraying. Easy

    I had some made for my Toyota truck! Maybe you could order some that are close enough in dimensions for your boat windows? Also, you could order some heavy duty magnets to place around any gaps/loose material. Hope this helps!

      Ciguatera is generally not found in pelagic fish because they are eating smaller fish in pelagic waters away from where the dinoflagellates which are the origin of the toxin live which is on some shallow reefs.
      Pelagic fish may have their own issues such as heavy metal like mercury but that’s different from a neurotoxin like ciguatera.
