The new normal These are anything but normal times, so it should come as no surprise that this year’s Yacht & Brokerage Show in Miami Beach this past week has been anything but normal. Perhaps fewer people, decidedly fewer boats, curiously different accents and certainly colder than desired termperatures, the show still delivered what captains and brokers called “serious” buyers.
