Pasikudah shallows — meeting pin failed and groups split: tea and skip the speech or keep a Kandy pin on the phone

Saturday 29 Aug leftover after Esala. We are at Pasikudah shallows. Lived detail: meeting pin failed and groups split. Fork is tea and skip the speech versus keep a Kandy pin on the phone. Festival ended Friday. No Saturday cortege. Elder in the group is the veto. White set still damp if we pack wet. Screenshot because inland data dies. Locals can push back. I want the grown-up fork, not the pride fork.
