That Al Sheeshkebab thing would cause quite a stir in the Estero River

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.

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.

No helicopter pad???

The big one has a pad.
I goggled it up and found it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Mirqab_%28yacht%29
This was docked at the west end of the cruise boat pier.

Man, what a tub. I know their means and mine are as far as east is
from west, but that doesn't look to me like something you take for a
family outing on the lake.

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.

The marina at Atlantis charges at least 2 or 3 times the going rate
for dockage with some high minimums if my memory is correct. People
we have met liked it for the entertainment value however. The
environment there is also very cloistered compared to most marinas in
Nassau.

Looks a lot like Paul Allens boat.

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

That's nothing compared to our current boat that I won't post a picture
of or even tell what it is. Nope, no way Jose. My Dr. Dr. Dr. wife and I
have too many dignitaries and such aboard to give those kinds of details
away. The Secret Service would go insane!

Do you also post under another name besides Harry?
