It was a pretty mellow, light-hearted event at our beach, though there was talk of destruction & the need for change. Mostly it felt good to know that even in this rural area a group of people who care about the oceans would take the time to gather on short notice. This site was announced just a week before the event, & the people around me had come from several different towns.
The moving part for me is the connection with other coastal folks around the planet. I think all of us were thinking about what it would be like if our local shores were devastated. It feels great to know that so many others care.
