Chef Victoria on Cocoa Bean wrote a book on boating and included a bunch of her favorite recipes from around the world.

Had to get off the docks and onto a sea trial but was able to get a few shots while underway.
Here's Carpe Diem off our port bow.

You know you have a big yacht when your tender is a sportfisherman.

"Hey deckhand on watch, are we going to clear?" This is "Temptation".

The parade is over. FLIBS is over. But the work at YF continues, and you'll see the fruits of our labor in the coming weeks and months. I hope you enjoyed our coverage of FLIBS, from the daily coverage, to the colorful photos and commentary, to the exiting parade. The YF Team worked hard to bring the boat show to you.

One last thanks to these guys on the water who save us when we get in trouble.

A big thanks to Tom for taking post show pics, even while he was doing a sea trial. I'm off to another sea trial today. The thread is open for discussion.

Here's a couple of shots I took from the Pelican Bar at Pier 66. The first is the Affinity 90' Sportfish. A full YF review is in the worx...

I would have taken more pictures, but as Tom said, a big-arse yacht was blocking the view from the Pier 66 Pelican Bar, much to the dismay of the restaurant's customers. Of all days for the dockmaster to put Ultima III in front of the best post-show observation point! This had been a place of growing popularity following the show, but the dockmaster killed the P-Bar's business that day.

Just got an image from Judy Waldman. While on a sea trial, the day after FLIBS, she was cruising at 8 knots on a Bering 55 when MITseaAH blasted by her, sails furled, dilithium crystals engaged...
