Stuart Boat Show On!
The 38th annual Stuart Boat Show will run during a year when the quaint, Atlantic Coast town is really living up to its moniker, the Sailfish Capital of the World. The weather looks gorgeous for this weekend, and if you're not too busy fishing, check out the event, which runs Friday through Sunday. The show takes place on Jan. 13-15, 2012, right on the St. Lucie River.
This year, there will be more than 500 boats on display, most of them in the water, and about 170 exhibitors are expected. You can check out everything from small bay boats up to huge 70-foot-plus sport fishermen.
