At the Las Olas Art Fair there were many
Objets d'Art. Because of the bright yellow
color, we thought this one might be perfect
for our canal boat Amarok!

Another Objet d'Art at the Las Olas Art Fair - even
more suitable for the Amarok! Guess we better
check with the partners before buying it!

We really like the New River Downtown
Docks in Ft. Lauderdale. It's right in the
heart of the city, and also a very deal at a
mere $1/ft/night. It surprises me that people
are willing pay over three times as much to
stay at the private marinas around here!
