Sunny Isles Beach is only 2.5 miles long and sits between the ocean and intercoastal. Collins Ave is the main drag. The Newport is a half mile north of the pits.

I just sent out two of my cameras for service this afternoon.
I found some issues after Ocean City.

I was told they might be ready next week.

I told them it can't be maybe, they need to be ready by next week.
I explained I have a Make-A-Wish Event on Friday to try and cover, a Race to Bimini and the OPA races on Sunday, not to mention all of the other stuff that needs to be shot in between... This weekend would be way too important to go with only one camera....
I got a call tonight stating both cameras are ready for pick up. They wanted to allow me some time before I left to make sure everything was 100%

So Sunny Isles here I come "LOCKED AND LOADED"

I will also be representing POWERBOAT MAGAZINE for this event...
