Same with my parents they had this belief of looking out for the moon when it is out smaller than a quarter size, the call it new moon and it was time to pray for a better new month, I reluctantly participated then. 😃
Sounds like a nice walk to have on the beach to watch the moon rise over the ocean.
Most probably some truth in old beliefs, beach walk always advertised in local newspaper, folk arrive and enjoy the walk in a group making it safer.
I would participate in the walk if I was there, I like things like that 😃
Something that has been happening for years here, most enjoyable although I have not been myself in a long time.
That is good, the community or the organizers should keep at it.
We get those periods when we are not ourselves, at times we snap out of it quicker, sometimes a bit longer.
Started with mainly a woman wishing to walk her dog, invited the community to join in for safety sake, so the ball started rolling about twenty years ago.
It takes one person to get a movement like this going, she will always be remembered for this.
