If you had one year to live in South Florida, what would you do?
I was stationed in Miami (living in Broward) about 18 months ago and I am tour complete next summer. I spent the first 6 months acclimating to the area, new billet, and getting my family settled. Over the last year I have been stumbling upon new things such as the Guy Harvey HQ 20 mins from my house, the IGFA Hall of Fame in Ft Lauderdale (even w/out the museum) and a lot of great boat builders in the area.
Point of all this is that I am looking at my transfer next July so what things should be on my bucket list prior to departing? I had to sell my boat prior to moving here to cover deposits but have recently started hitting up charters out of Haulover Inlet and am looking into one out of Key West but haven't received a response back yet. What fishing trips or fishing related activities would you HAVE to do or see if you were here for only one year? Thanks.

Take a trip to Key West. From there take the ferry to the Dry Tortuga's and Ft Jefferson. Lots of info about it on line. No fishing but your family will love it. Do a sword charter either in the Keys, or right there in your area. Get recommendations on a Captain before you book someone.
