With no sign of letting up we grabbed our bags, donned gloves, picked up rakes, loaded up the tractor and set out determined to tackle the challenge at hand resigned to the fact that we be soaking wet in seconds. We had quite a turnout for the event. Hoping for 40 people under good conditions, we expected fewer once the the storm struck. We ended up having a group of volunteers 75 strong. It was a diverse group too, children and their families from Asentamiento and Santa Marta, employees of the various businesses at Playa Colorado, foreign residents, and local surfers. Here is one of the youngsters doing his part right as the weather started to break.
