Superyacht Miami without Lifestyle

Just bought my ticket and booked hotel on Collins!!!

Went to show on Thursday -- mostly looking at small boats. Show seemed busy, some good (and not so good) boats to see. I had forgotten how horrific traffic is during boat show. Took bus from Sealine Marina to brokerage on Collins Ave -- ride took 1 hr, 25 minutes. Later that afternoon, waited in line almost 30 minutes to board bus from Convention Center to Sea Line, bus ride took 55 minutes.

Finally ransomed car from hotel garage, then crept north in stop and go traffic on I-95 for another hour or so.

Still, boat show was fun as usual.

Show Management held a circus, ahem... media event. Two new shows are in their portfolio. The first is Panama International Boat Show on June 20th thru 22nd. The next show is the following Press Release...

Kudos to you for taking it in stride. My sentiments border on... "until you've driven in Miami, you'll never fully comprehend the meaning of disregard".

It's fun reading between the lines of your one-liners.

Let me take a crack at this...

• Miami is for financially misappropriated misfitz. The kind that pretend to be kids buying adult toyz.
  
  
• South Florida traffic has swelled to L.A. levels, but the Miami tide has fallen.
  
  
• The percentage of babes selling advertising to yacht builders is only exceeded by women selling... out.
  
  
• A billionaire once told me that his Fortunate 100 friends are fortunate to have friends with boats. And an Internet connection.

My highlights from the show.

Mangusta is very sexy. Not so practical, but still just beautiful.

23m Leopard hardtop. Nice and a bit more practical with hardtop.

crazy big Viking. They probably fish ok, but the interrior design is exceptional. Which is probably important for fishing.... At least with the wife.

More wife pleasing Viking. (Wife not pictured... Don't know who that is)
