Ft Lauderdale, City of Yachts

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Contributor Tampa Randy created this beautiful drone video of Fort Lauderdale, the lesser-known half of the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale urban agglomeration in South Florida. Located a half hours' drive north of Miami (at least at the rare times when traffic is light) Fort Lauderdale has a long Atlantic Ocean beachfront and numerous channels and harbors. With its near-ubiquitous access to the water, Fort Lauderdale is one of the biggest yachting markets in the world, and the annual boat show held here is the largest of its kind in the USA.
