MBSO takes in an evening at Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island, September 2009
It all started a decade ago on one of our adventures at Big Sur in Northern California. We came across this little sea otter trapped on a shelf in a curio shop. We thought he'd make a good traveling companion, and offered him a lift. He now travels the world as an international ambassador of goodwill. All that he requires of us is a little space in the suitcase, and that we keep plenty of Mussel Helper in the pantry.
Mrbabyseaotter also frequently sends postcards to his fans, mostly young nephews and nieces across the world. These postcards are often used in geography lessons to help youngsters learn about different places and parts of the world we've visited. If you know someone who'd be interested in a postcard from MBSO, send him their address and he'd be happy to send one.
