I have always wanted to go to a major boat show. We have enjoyed the ones in Knoxville, but I wanted to see one of the really big ones. Although we didn't plan our trip around the Miami show, we were delighted that they coincided.
We took our dinghy in, in case we were late and missed the last water taxi. Their dinghy dock is smaller than the one in Key West, but still a popular place.
Transportation to the boat show is a major issue, so we took a taxi with Kevin, whom we had met in the marina office. It took a long time to get there, traffic was horrible. This is the second year the event has been held at Marine Stadium, a boat racing venue that has been closed for years. There is no way to adequately describe the size of this venue. Huge tent buildings, elaborate transportation set-ups, docks built and brought in just for the event, boats and people everywhere! I was overwhelmed from the time we got out of the taxi! We made it through every building and most of the docks - wore ourselves out! I have to mention the lunch. There were food trucks and booths, we chose the Mediterranean food truck because the line was shorter. I ordered Chicken Schwarma and Danny ordered a Kafka platter. Weren't we adventurous? Both were excellent!
Here are some pictures from the show.
