Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2011

Sunrise Harbor Marina

While at Sunrise Harbor Marina I also found these beauties: Sea Bird, Sovereign, and Penny Mae!

Marina Mar Is Busy Today

There is lots of activity at Marina Mar today! So far over 25 boats have been loaded into the docks: 60-132, Alexandra Bear, Big Play, Black Pearl, Blue Star, Champagne Cher, Golden Gate, Harbour Island, Idyllwild, J Sea, Lights Out, Lochiel, Marika, Misunderstood, Montage, Moon Goddess, Parlay, Reel Attitude, Sealyon, Seaowl, Seascape, Shooting Star, Silver Shalis, Temptation, Tenacity, and Tranquility,

There are more yachts coming down the New River and the Intracoastal headed towards the show too. The natives are getting restless!!

I got that info from Felicita West - Overview which was created in 2006. Apparently those bragging rights did not last for very long.

According to another site she is now number 10.

I apologize for not fact checking my post.

Monsters In Port Everglades

In addition to Rising Sun who has been at berth in Port Everglades for several days we now have Seaquest 163' x 30' x 7', Cur De Leon 163' x 29' x 8', Samar 252' x 42' x 12', and Meduse 199' x 34' x 10'.

On the Intracoastal that just came into port we have Newvida 161' x 30' x 7' and VF-15 160' x 29' x 7'.

If you have time keep this http://www.portevergladeswebcam.com/ open on your desktop and you will see the yachts coming and going to the show!

All I can say is WOW, Totally Awesome, Nite time shots are so hard to take without being out of focus and you did them perfectly! And on the bridge with the traffic causing massive vibration.. Did you use a tripod? Lookin forward to more great pics of the show. I will be there Friday and hope to get some worth posting. Keep'em coming everyone!!

Magnificently artful shots! The one with Kismet and the light reflecting off the clouds is catalogue material!! You are hired!!!

North End of the Show

I was walking the dock at the very North end of the show today and found these babies getting ready for the show. Pic 3 is Castaway and 4 is Sugar Too. Sorry I did not get all their names.

The girl in the first and second picture is doing the polish and buff ballet on point. Would you just take a look at those gams. Oh, and you thought this show was meant to be all about the yachts...

The last boat looks like she could be the fastest boat in the show!

A Few More From the North End

Here are a few more beauties from the North End of the Show!

We have Andrea V, Adriana, Camelot, Equinox II and a gorgeous blue girl whose name I know not. It must be love....

Here Is The Line Up!

This series of shots begins just South of the Las Olas Bridge and continues South to the end of the Bahia Mar Show site. Many of the biggies that have less than a 12 ft draft are part of this stupendous line up. There are several slots to the left of the broker barges and behind the 2 story Sunseeker pavillion that are yet to be loaded so there are still a few more suspects to arrive.
