Fullmoon & Lantern Light walk & Talk about history of US Coast Guard
We will meet at Coast Guard Beach Parking lot. Talk about the evolution of the US Coast Guard Service and then do a short walk on the beach enjoying the fullmoon and have further discussions of what life was like to be a Surfman in the US Lifesaving Service and what may have happened during an actual rescue.

Be forewarned, The Hike leader is not a historian , so polished this won't be. Please come with questions about the Service as this will help improve future talks . Participants should feel free to enjoy the beach if the talk becomes too tedious. The moon should be great
