Oracle Open World - San Francisco - 2013
In september of 2013, I attended Oracle Open World in San Francisco, California. While there, I got the 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to watch the America's Cup yacht race from the water. We wre taken out ina replica of the America - the ship that won the 1st race in 1851.
