Default What day would be better at the marina and convention center?

Wiley,

I will be there Saturday Night thru Monday Night. Heading to the show Sunday and Monday, which day should I do the Convention and Marina? What is the best plan with the crowds? Great place to head Sunday evening to hang out and have a few cold ones?

Do they still have a full staff of people at the marina on Monday and test runs still offered?

If it's anything like the Lauderdale Show last Oct. crowds unfortunately will not be an issue.

I am not sure about that theory. This is Miami, I would say Sunday would be lighter because of church, but who knows. We are go to the convention center saturday. We are staying at the marina

Been going for past few years. Actually, Friday is your best in water day. Saturday and Sunday are Mob days. I would go to the Convention center on Sunday, sign up for boat rides at the booths. Most make reservations for the next day. You should have your pick of the litter on Monday when all the locals are back at work. They have shuttle busses at the back of the convention center lot that take you over to the Miami Hearld/ yacht basin where most of your rides eminate from. Contender has their own shuttle from the front of the convention center that goes to the miami beach marina out near govt' cut.
