2006 Air & Sea Show: Yachts in Lauderdale

yes I see the point

As you probably know our home dock is exactly where the speed limit starts/finishes before commercial bridge so we end up getting a beating by some of the bigger boats. But what I hate is when I'm lowering the Chris Craft off the lift and people not only pay no consideration to my situation some actually seem to come closer to take a look!!!

Funnily enough you had a picture of one yacht who has a sports fisher of the same name, they once made enough wake to wash the wood chippings off the garden!!!! Thankfully the Neenah Z is a heavy boat and doesn't get too much of a beating.

Just goes to show that common sense isn't that common

and

Also I've noticed a few boats sit on the bottom at low tide and I'm sure a good bit of wash won't do them much good. We in fact touch bottom on spring lows.

Good thing about the shape of the Neenah Z we produce almost no wake, even at cruising speed.

Anyone ever noticed the horizon in the BVI's goes down hill?

just a couple

a couple more pics from the same folder

Admiral 161' Aurora bow shot


very NICE sheer line

sorry

sorry guys went a little off topic

Hey Carl
Sorry I missed you in Ft. Lauderdale. I had my hands full with the kids 24/7.
We stayed at Bahia Mar & I have plenty of marina and air show pictures. I'll have them up in a day or two.
Bahia Mar was a hit with the wife & kids! It was far enough away to avoid the mayhem but close enough to see everything. The jets were right over our heads
My son was in awe watching the Blue Angels and the real kicker was when we walked into the lobby Saturday evening & the pilots were all there. My son's jaw was on the ground when he saw them! What a friendly bunch of guys. Several saw my son looking at them & walked over to say "hi" & talk all about the planes & gave us posters, shirt pins & let us take pictures.
Now, I just need a pitch fork to find my desk.

Hey! I'll be in Riviera Beach this Saturday. I had the Bertram hauled at crackerboy to have some work done. I'll give you a call Friday

I think it is the 68' Admiralty. They were next to us in Miami and were just about the same size.

Nice seadoos you have on the bow Captain Chris..i like those PWC's.

Carl,
I did attend the show with my son. Took the boss' yacht out for fueling and a last run before trip back north. Got a few shots from the ocean that you missed. Enjoy!

Wow really nice pictures I'll make it a point to go next year looks like you guys had a lot of fun..

Carl,
Come on around and stay near Port Everglades, perhaps at Pier 66. Get out early and join the fleet anchored less than a mile off the beach (plan to stay all day). I hear that many small boats anchor inside off the ICW also. It was cool to see so don't miss it.
