The Sea-bean Symposium is off to a great start this morning. Sue and I are visiting with lots of friends we made last year. I managed to do a video interview with Dr. Curtis Ebbesmeyer which I’ll be posting in a week or so. The subject of the interview was his new book “Flotsametrics and the Floating World.”

At 11 a.m. Ed Perry who is a ranger at Sebastian Inlet State Park gave a great slide show presentation on “beginning beachwalking.”
