Jfrano,
You might consider what RVers do to solve this problem:

The Dometic sales pitch: "Advanced design allows up to 75% more airflow than other roof vent covers yet protects your RV interior against sudden, unexpected showers."
Think of your boat as an RV. However, that vent cover does create a rather large bump on top of your boat's cabin 😉

Another option is installing covers for the side opening portholes and windows. These folks have round and rectangular plexiglass covers that should fit our boats: http://seaworthygoods.com

This is where I would normally make a wise crack about just moving north to solve your problem. But this summer we've been struggling with heat management up here too 🙁 In an attempt to get some shade I've been anchoring close enough to shore to get out and take a walk at low tide. Of course with the tide changing six inches every quarter of an hour you have to walk fast 😀
