FLIBS Post-Show Parade

Viking 74 Enclosed Bridge. Sorry, but I love Vikings.

Chef Victoria on Cocoa Bean wrote a book on boating and included a bunch of her favorite recipes from around the world.

Had to get off the docks and onto a sea trial but was able to get a few shots while underway.
Here's Carpe Diem off our port bow.

Nice rooster tail from this speed demon.

Just a few more pics before we are done.
You saw her before, but here's My Iris framed out, pleasing my iris.

You know you have a big yacht when your tender is a sportfisherman.

"Hey deckhand on watch, are we going to clear?" This is "Temptation".

What a dramatic sheer line.

The parade is over. FLIBS is over. But the work at YF continues, and you'll see the fruits of our labor in the coming weeks and months. I hope you enjoyed our coverage of FLIBS, from the daily coverage, to the colorful photos and commentary, to the exiting parade. The YF Team worked hard to bring the boat show to you.

One last thanks to these guys on the water who save us when we get in trouble.

A big thanks to Tom for taking post show pics, even while he was doing a sea trial. I'm off to another sea trial today. The thread is open for discussion.

Here's a couple of shots I took from the Pelican Bar at Pier 66. The first is the Affinity 90' Sportfish. A full YF review is in the worx...

PJ's 123' "Muse", returning from the port, but heading into the eye of the post show storm...

I would have taken more pictures, but as Tom said, a big-arse yacht was blocking the view from the Pier 66 Pelican Bar, much to the dismay of the restaurant's customers. Of all days for the dockmaster to put Ultima III in front of the best post-show observation point! This had been a place of growing popularity following the show, but the dockmaster killed the P-Bar's business that day.

The day after the post show parade, I found a Walrus in my backyard...

Just got an image from Judy Waldman. While on a sea trial, the day after FLIBS, she was cruising at 8 knots on a Bering 55 when MITseaAH blasted by her, sails furled, dilithium crystals engaged...

Capt. Tom et al,
Wonderful coverage of FLIBS! Thanks so much for all your hard work. YF does it AGAIN!!!!!

One of the boats on display at FLIBS was "Tencara", built by Callan Marine. Dave Callan and crew are known for ultra-go-fast, turbine powered cats. This was a diesel diversion from their typical turbines. Had to be the angriest sounding glow engines I've ever heard. Mean I tell ya, mean!

You guys Rock, nice work. Journalism at it's finest.
Is there more?

Outstanding work once again Carl, Tom, and team.
It's like I got two shows in one! One while there, and just as good a show here, which required no mile after mile walking!

Any ID on the boat in post 68?
Very unique lines on her.
And with that bow, she looks to be a dry boat heading into the thick of it.

Once again, outstanding work to YF!

Two quick observations: That's quite a color on the Viking 74' in post #61, and the more I see of Sycara, the more I am convinced there is not a wrong line on her.

Great job with the show, again and as ever!

Walked by it twice, but the name escapes me. I want to say Aquas, or something to that effect. The bow flair is so dramatic, it looks cartoonish. From the exterior, it was an interesting boat. Meant to go back and look at it, but my time was spread pretty thin.

I think Tom has a few pics from our Wednesday walk around the dock. It caught our eye at the time. It was docked next to Mia Culpa. You HAD to see the fishing rod holder on that boat! It dropped down from the ceiling on the aft deck with atleast 50 rods stashed in it. (no reels)
