Winds and cool weather may have kept some off the water last weekend, but it didn’t stop large crowds from viewing more than 100 of the best boats on the market. Island Community Church’s grounds transformed into a boater menagerie from Jan. 19-21, with marine vendors from the Florida Keys and South Florida showcasing the hottest vessels and products on the market. Proceeds from the Upper Keys’ premier boat show support college scholarships for local students, as well as the missions and ministries of Island Community Church.
