If you are interested in boating, the Seattle Boat Show opened yesterday.  Jennifer and I will be presenting on the red stage at 4:15 on Saturday February 2^nd.  Our presentation will be some of our favorite anchorages and cruising areas selected from  Cruising the Secret Coast: Unexplored Anchorages on British Columbia’s Inside Passage  which just went to the printer a couple of weeks back.   Drop by if you want to talk about boating (or high-scale distributed systems).
