From July 20 through the 26 a group of sailors and adventure-seeking individuals gathered together near Mandeville Tip. A collection of Delta-fairing vessels crafted flotillas and “islands” of floating platforms to once again create “Ephemerisle”.
In 2009, the event stemmed from the Seasteading Institute looking to “promote their vision of autonomous societies in the ocean,” according to the Ephemerisle website. The event has continued to evolve into a informal gathering where people come to sing, dance, swim and build community in the heart of the Delta.
Finding a way there and a place to sleep are crucial for those looking to attend. Logistical prep and preplanning can be found on the group Facebook. Curious individuals of all ages are encouraged to join.
