river rats
i grew up crusing the Miami River on a little boat my dad and his friend found in my grandfather's old shed. I don't mean little like "oh em gee my dad's little boat like the Boston Whaler he keeps behind his 84 foot yachttttuhuhhhhhh" (are you getting the Miami girl "-uhhh" at the end of the words thing?), I mean like a couple foot long tin boat that we renamed the MS Mildew.
If you can take a boat, big or small, out to explore the Miami River I couldn't recommend it more. It's a glimpse of old Miami that you can't find in the more commercial areas. Of course, the River is, like all other untouched areas, becoming increasingly trendy for young people, which makes it right up the miami nice alley... or should I say river? (Keepin' the lame jokes coming...)
