That incessant sound you hear coming from the oceanfront in Fort Lauderdale is the economy hum-ming, as the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show reaches the peak of its showy delirium this weekend. In its over-the-top celebration of what is possible in design and technology, rendered in examples of remarkable sculptural beauty, many with ridiculous price tags affordable for only the very VIP members of the international audience it attracts, FLIBS is the Art Basel of boating. Yes, it means your favorite table is booked, you can’t get an Uber and even that favorite spot you don’t tell anyone about is somehow infiltrated, but that’s great for our friends in the hospitality industry.
