Wow the last photo at the docks is in Miami at the Four Ambassador. That's awesome but sad; that dock now days is full of sailboats & cabin cruisers. Just to know what use to be held there. The bridge in the background is the entrance to Brickell Key.

I remember watching races from this era on network TV. I was 10 or so and thought nothing could be cooler than racing those boats. The races were on pretty frequently. Wild world of sports? I thought those Cigarettes were the ultimate in machinery.
