On A Boat

“I’m the king of the world, on a boat like Leo. If you’re on the shore, then you’re sure not me-o.”

This is us riding down the big blue watery road, the Intracoastal Waterway, which goes all the way from New Jersey to Texas. On our trip, we went from West Palm Beach to Ft. Lauderdale and then down to Miami Beach. There are bridges across the canal every few miles and you have to time your cruise so you hit them at their opening times, or else they just slow you down. It was so much fun: there are dolphins and manatees, mangroves, big yachts and enormous mansions along the way. Like this:

Holy crap! There are millions of these giant houses with giant boats parked out front. Tiger Woods lives in a house like this somewhere nearby.

Pelicans are squirrels/raccoons of the sea. I took this picture before my dad made me shoo it away because pelicans put the poop in poop deck. But I like them anyway!

The Miami shipyards from the top of our boat at Miami Beach Marina. That’s where Dexter’s mom was murdered in a cargo container! Culture!

Florida Karen comes out in Toronto, too! Although, I adore you both.

Also, is the boat really named “Prime Time?”

GOD DAMN that looks like fun. AURGH! I’m working in dark horse right now looking outside at the bitter cold and I so want to be partying on Prime Time right now.

The boat is really named Prime Time. Prime Time V, to be exact: the fifth Prime Time since 1978 or something.
