Beach culture is a complex thing. There is sand of course but stones and seaweed within the sand.
The recent rainstorms have revealed a rainbow-colored treasure of stones at low tide. These stones that will, in millennia, make the sand.
My morning walk took me by two fishermen, standing in the surf, side by side. I asked them what they were fishing for. Halibut the one man answered. They were friendly, so I asked what they caught. Smelt.
We may come to the ocean’s edge with one goal in mind but end with unexpected gains.
The fishermen were done for the day, but would come back and try again, the persistence of beach culture.
