Boating

Everybody has a boat in Miami. Well, in Florida. I read somewhere that Fort Lauderdale had the highest density of boats per capita in the World. No wonder.

Actually, having a boat is one of the best things you can do in Miami. Since it is "la ciudad marmol. O vas al mar o vas al "mol". Going to "el mar" is better if you go on a boat. They are cheap and easy to acquire, like everything in the US and they are so much fun.

You can have a fishing boat and wake up early in the morning to go fishing with your buddies. Some cans of beer, a good rod and you have a blast.

You can have a boat to pull girls. It works, but you need to have a bad ass boat. Big, flashy, packed with alcohol and good music. There are sand bars all over and you see tons of boats gather around, boost up their music, open some beers and the party is on! Top less babes, with microscopic thongs dance to the beat of the music on their boat, or on the boat next to them. A sight for sore eyes! In Miami, party goes as far as miles into the ocean. Why not!

Another cool thing you can do on a boat (my favourite) is go out for dinner. Lots of restaurants are by the water and you can dock right at the entrance, have dinner and then sail back home while enjoying the spectacular view from the Intracoastal. Watch out though, police is as tough on the sea as they are on the road when it comes to drinking and driving...

Watersports are the obvious other thing you can do. Water ski, kneeboard, wakeboard or just speeding.

I might start considering getting one. Any good offers?

Hi, Jamie. If you're thinking about getting a boat, you might want to know that Sailboards Miami Windsurf School & Kayak Center is having a Spring Swap Meet Saturday, April 12...

"Sailboards Miami and South Florida Windsurfing Association are co-hosting our semi-annual water sports swap meet on Saturday April 12th. The event is free to all. Bring your old water sports equipment to sell, some cash, or just the dog to take a walk! The event runs from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Contact us if you require further information."

I don't think they'll have any boats for sale, but you can probably find a cheap Wakeboard.

Take care,

Gus

Hi Jamie,

I am planning on moving to miami in November, and have so many questions that my head is spinning.

Do you think Miami is a place where someone who speaks minimal Spanish would be able to learn more?

Also, I see that you are in Marketing. I actually do media planning for a large agency here in NYC. Do you feel there are alot of opportunities in Marketing there?

Thank You for your input =)
