Santa Barbara Harbor

Believe it or not, I have been measuring diffusion coefficients via particle tracking for days now, and we're still off by a factor of five... I've got some ideas for the reasons and we'll figure it out, but because that's so frustrating, let's talk about something nicer :-)


Like the harbor of Santa Barbara! I haven't been there before, but it's a great view, there are many restaurants and you can walk out to the pier. About 1000 boats are in the harbor (for which you have to pay a fee) and there are some which are just kept outside near the beach (which is free). But if a storm comes, your boat is washed ashore and you don't remove it quickly, the boat is destroyed and its parts carried away. Thus, the harbor fee might be worth it ;-)
