Let's see, I met numerous other area bloggers, loads of Puma folks, and a couple of the guys that are actually part of the crew of the Puma race boat and hear about their trials and tribulations. We also got to take a tour of the Puma training boat - I can say with certainty that I would not want to sleep/live/race in that thing for 9 months. If you want to check it out, there's a reality web series about them on RipeTV (here).
I highly recommend everyone swing by Fan Pier and check it out while the Volvo Ocean Race is in town. It's a pretty neat experience and it'll be a chance to swing by the harbor and enjoy the warm weather. They're also selling some pretty cool gear on the 1st floor retail area of Puma City.
