Hey, everyone, this is my first post here, greetings from Chicago, Ilinios. I was researching boating-related events in Florida and i came across this thread. As I already mentioned, I am from Chicago, however, I will be moving to the Sabbia Beach Condos complex in Pompano Beach, FL with my wife and two other families sometime next year for some hedonism after retirement. And from what I've read so far, the Destin Boat parade, although a bit far away from Pompano Beach, should be quite an enjoyable event. As it happens, I do own a sailboat, and also the friends, who will be moving with us, are all avid sailors. I was wondering if there was someone here who would be so kind as to give us some more details about the event. We would very much like to participate in next year's parade and, if we receive positive feedback, stay a couple of days and relax with our families in Destin or the area. Thanks very much, love, Mike ;)
