Show Information...
Maybe this will be of some benefit to some of you:
http://www.miamiboatshow.com/
There are three venues to the Miami Boat Show, in addition to the brokerage show on Collins Avenue which is where you'll find SAM's and the Hatteras display. You'll need tickets for the three parts to the Miami Boat Show, but the brokerage show is free. There is a free shuttle service between the brokerage show and the three venues of the Miami Boat Show.
Parking....well, good luck. Parking can be had all around and there are signs everywhere. You can find parking (and all parking areas come at a premium, but you probably already expected that) all over the place - some are within walking distance of any one of the venues and the brokerage show, and some will have to shuttle you in. Traffic on Miami Beach is a nightmare and you'll spend a lot of time trying to find a lot that's not full if you don't get there early. You may find it more desirable to park over in the downtown Miami/bayside area near Miamarina which is where the "Strictly Sail" venue of the show is located and then take the shuttle over from there. That is what we are likely to do, unless we can find a place to tie up the rubber boat.
Now, on to more pressing matters....
For those of you who will take me up on the "happy hour" on Sanctuary, we're planning to do that this Sunday starting sometime in the late afternoon, probably around 5:00 p.m, I would guess. I know the show doesn't close that day until 10:00 p.m., but we'll be around later too. I'll have a "standard bar" with some finger foods, but I'm not serving dinner - that boat's not that big.
If you want something specific in terms of a brand, feel free to bring it.
If you're looking for a dinner location that is walking distance from Sanctuary, the Rusty Pelican, famous for its spectacular waterfront view of downtown Miami from across the bay, is located just a stone’s throw from Sanctuary’s aft deck. It's a bit on the pricey side with entrees averaging between $26 and $35. Sunday evening is an easy day to get in there, but the place is packed to the gills every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon. There is a wedding reception there every Friday and Saturday - it's a very popular place.
How to get to Rickenbacker Marina:
If you are downtown Miami, on Miami Beach, or coming anywhere from the north, take I-95 South to the last exit (I think it's 1A) which is for "Key Biscayne" and "Rickenbacker Causeway". Get off that exit and follow the signs for "Rickenbacker Causeway" which will take you a block after you get off the exit ramp and then the signs will instruct you to turn left. The causeway is in front of you at that point. Go through the $1.25 toll booth and over the tall bridge. Rickenbacker is the marina you will see on your left, and it will be the first turn to your left after you come off the big bridge. If you come before 6:00 p.m., stop at the office and get a parking pass. Tell them you are here to see me (Angela Lovin) in Slip B-80. I'll have to ask about what to do for parking after 6:00 p.m. - probably just park, but I'll see what the protocol is. The gate has a security guard that will let you in. The evening guard doesn't speak English, but I'll leave him some instructions to let anyone in with my name and slip number, and if he's not there when you are at the gate, call me (786-314-9314). Sanctuary is a decent walk to the very end of the pier.
And if you can't make it, Ed and I hope to meet up with you on one of the other days. I live here, so I'm around everyday.
Cheers!
P.S. I promise I won't ask any of you to do any boat chores!
