They'll be back, just look at the attached pictures. Those are some happy sailors and . their sails were always full of wind. Aren't those Rolex's and that booze goes for $75,00 to $150.00 a bottle. The Bay was free as were our parks. Who provided those tents? Several months ago Miami provided tents, security and several other perks, I think for a Swiss "Clean the Oceans" non-profit organization. These are mostly decent nice mariners who possess sufficient wealth to have these very expensive boats, can leave their jobs for several weeks and vacation, yes vacation and in our parks and our Bay. Many Alabamian's are middle-class or below and should be burdened with having to finance folks like the FMPTA (Burn Notice) (Miami-Vice) or millionaire boaters, etc., etc., and etc. The financial pie is only so big and charity should stay close to home, in this instance. They'll be back and glad to see our beautiful Coconut Grove, experience our hospitality and the Bay. Jobie Steppe
Kind of agree with Jobie. The sailors come here at a time when the hotels would most likely be booked anyway. Not that I don't want them or welcome them, I just don't know if there's a need to give out massive incentives to keep them here. Now if they were coming in August, that's another story.
