Jack and I spent a delightful day Friday attending the annual Miami International Boat Show. Fortunately we had complimentary tickets because it was $15 to park and $25 for 2 sandwiches and 2 soft drinks! Huge catamarans are the wave of the future it seems. There were many of them on display, most made in South Africa. We both wonder what it would be like to sail them and more importantly how to DOCK them since the helm is almost always on the side not midships like on the boats we have sailed. The Miami Convention Center was stuffed full of power boats (the sailboats were in the water at Bayside) and every boat toy imaginable from water skis to forward facing propellers, from life boats to docks and lifts, from galley ware to generators large enough to run a ship! We love our boat and are happy with it's accommodations but there are always a few new toys on the wish list. First on the list this year was a water maker (you know, reverse osmosis). We found the perfect one - THE LITTLE WONDER, from Village Marine Tec. We will continue to conserve water as we always have but are looking forward to a little longer shower and not having to do the dreaded dock stop to fill the water tank! That's good thing!
