Miami Boat Show

The Miami Boat Show is billed as the largest in the world, though some European shows dispute that. We have been going to this show for at least 34 years, missing some years but being there most years. We long ago gave up looking at boats and concentrated on the largest accessory exhibit in the world.

Some pictures:
The first is a shot across the floor of the Miami Convention Center. This does not capture the 2 MILLION square feet of exhibition space. Its a big show.

The second is a shot of the sailboat show. Note the multihulls; billed as the largest multihull show.

Pictures 3 & 4 depict our dining companions at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. The food inside the convention center is terrible as you would expect so we had a late lunch/early dinner at Miamarina before driving back to the boat (90 minutes to go 22 miles). A single squirrel and many pigeons.

As an observation, the drivers in south Florida are the worst in the United States; and that's being kind.
