It surely has been a very long day for a first day of this kind of highly technical workshop, especially for those who just flew in last night. But it surely can be called a very successful day for a first day of this kind of workshop, highly technical!

Special thanks to Mr. Ron Cannarella (pic.2) and his office for providing such a wonderful environment to host this workshop, and for the all the tasty coffee and snacks!
What we did? Well, after the brief but warm welcome from Lisa and Ron, and a very quick overview of the SWARS spatial analysis process from myself, we jumped right into the battle. Not much else to describe but everybody worked very hard.
Our speical guest Mr. Jamie Carter from NOAA Coastal Services Center joined us after lunch and gave a very nice presentation on a cool mapping project they are doing in the pacific region. Please visit the CSC website for more details.
A more detailed timeline was planned out and provided at the day end based on the assessment of where everybody was. Milestones/targets were set for each of the next 4 days. Yes, most of us got really tired already after this long day. Unfortunately, it might just get more intense...
Oh! Did I mention, it is always great to see all the old friends again!!
