So that would be condensation from your breath; dew would collect on the outside of the fly. When I park out in mine I'm able to feel the Hawaiian trade winds blowing through the hammock. How much separation between the fly and the hammock do think is needed? I have about 12-18 inches. I just rigged the fly 12 inches above the hammock line and used bungies to pick up the slack when the hammock sags under weight.
Sorry to trot out this ancient photo of my hammock yet again, but the setup with the fly has stood the test of time. As you can see, the fly is on a separate ridgeline, which is held taut by the drive acting as a counterweight, so the fly won't sag, no matter how wet it gets. Never had a problem with dew or condensation.
Nice, very slick idea.
