Well, that was a waste of a lot of effort! Who's the clever concom who decided it didn't matter if the Boston Boat Show was being held adjacent to Boskone, and of course there would still be parking? I started to get a bad feeling as I came down 93 on the tunnel approach, and the e-billboard said "Convention event use Exit 23" because I was pretty sure that didn't mean Boskone. Approaching the waterfront, I found myself packed in among pickup trucks, all big enough to tow boats. I did two full laps around the Waterfront Westin and the BCEC area, ascertaining that there was no parking to be had within half a mile, and left. If the weather had been warm, I might have driven back out to Wellington and taken the train, then walked over the canal, but it's too cold for that (and the far/alone walking thing applies there too).
