FL Miami Evening Meetup?

Haven't seen a ton of activity from the Miami crowd lately. Anybody up for an evening cruise sometime soon? I've seen a few around Coconut Grove lately, and I know there was at least one girl with one from UM last (school) year. Maybe around this year?

Was thinking we might be able to get some good group photos around Rickenbacker or possibly in/around the Port of Miami with the city in the background.

Ah yes, I pass by it every time I go down that way, there's some decent back roads behind it that are very relaxing

I think Sunday afternoon on 9/11 would be a great day to meet. Maybe do a BBQ and take some photos. Meet around 4:30 or 5 down towards Biscayne? Virginia Beach park, right across from the Seaquarium?

Or we could just do the beaches along Rickenbacker. There's a park area on the North Side just before the Causeway on your way out to Key Biscayne that looks like it would have some cool city backdrops, especially at dusk.

Took this from Google Maps. It's the north side park right after the bridge if you're heading back to the mainland.

just past the bridge/toll on your left (north side of road) is where that pic came from, anywhere from the area closest to the bridge would look great. another member Saul (chino0314) got pictures of his 8 at this location and they came out great!
