What were you doing at 12 noon on Saturday, June 26th, 2010?

Hundreds of folks linked hands, for Hands Across the Sand movement in Flagler Beach; joining tens of thousands more elsewhere in Florida, the nation, and the globe. 

They faced the clean Atlantic Ocean, not yet affected by the BP Oil Spill fiasco in the Gulf.  In this civil, peaceful movement, Flagler county residents protested Offshore Drilling, and supported the Clean Energy.

Here is video footage from the event:
