I own a '96 Doral 36 Express Cruiser. My dream boat would be a 50" Trawler.

What I saw in Miami this weekend that looked nice.

That Al Sheeshkebab thing would cause quite a stir in the Estero River
wouldn't it?

I doubt it would even make it into the ICW behind FMB.

We saw another nice boat un Nassau

The guys on the bridge of our cruise ship seemed riveted most of the
evening with big binoculars. I am guessing someone was naked in the
spa or something.


Well, I couldn't afford a boat like that, or even want one, but we did
spend five nights in that lighter colored hotel on the right...it's the
Atlantis. :)

I know, that is why I framed the shot that way ;-)

Actually both buildings are part of Atlantis

What's the rep on Atlantis? From the time I first saw promos on it, I
thought it'd be fun to take the family there -- but it almost seems
like a giant Las Vegas hotel transplanted.

I don't expect it'd be quaint but mega with a bunch of rotund American
consumers flooding the place wouldn't be my cup of tea.

More like a cross between Disneyland and Las Vegas by all reports.
We've met a number of people who have stayed at the marina and all
liked it with the caveat that it's a bit pricey.

No helicopter(s)? The owner must have fallen on hard times!

A little work could clean that up nicely. The OB motor looks out of
place as it sits - or floats.

It's probably jacked up a little since that's an area notorious for
skinny water.

I meant on the boat. A brand new OB and a boat that needs some TLC!

Looks like whoever took that picture, of the Mirqab, could use a couple lessons
in composition.
