Can't make it to Miami this week for the big boat shows? Mad Mariner will provide live coverage of the entire spectacle, updated several times a day.

For a preview, you can read today's story on what to expect in the week ahead. You can also tune in to the Home Page daily to read dispatches by correspondent Tom Tripp on our Ocean Lines blog. We plan to run Tom all over town, sending him into the tents at the Convention Center, down to the Strictly Sail show, over to Collins Avenue where the mega-yachts live–even out on a couple of boats.

He will update you live on Ocean Lines as he encounters new boats, engines, marine electronics and other gadgets all over the show. We will also include plenty of photos (we hired a couple of photags, so they will be in focus).

Of course, if you are going to Miami, please stop by Mad Mariner's exhibition in the Miami Beach Convention Center. We are located in Booth 1916, right next to BoatUS, near the doorway to the tents outside. We'd love to meet you in person!
