Heading to the beach tomorrow, from High Island to Port Bolivar, East of the Galveston Ferry. Not a great day for it, high tide and a strong South wind, 18 mph and gusting. I may not collect much surf side, but it shoud be great inside the jetties. With the strong south wind and high tide the water will be pushed in from offshore. I am collecting 15 gallons of live seawater. I will collect 2 gallons of live sand inside the jetty, north of the ferry landing. What I am most excited about is the plankton net I am making. I need to finish it tomorrow. Ihope it works. It will be made from a 75 micron mesh filter bag Igot a while back of Amazon. I should be able to harvest plenty of plankton, hoping anyway. Then I can start the setup of my reef tank. I will try to remember to take pics. I normally forget.
