"I Got a Fever, And The Only Prescription is More Cowbell!!", Notes from The Watt

   Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), naked trees, dreary weather, and other synptoms of the wintertime blues always make this time of year a challenge to get thru. 
     Eastern Sho' Snow, early February 

   THE Bruce Dickinson had it right...a Fever.  And right now the causes don't include snow.  More like bright sunny weekends, 50+ degree temps, a light offshore wind, and knee to waist high sets. Last weekend, this weekend...killers. 
  
            2/6 Lineup - A bit nip.

   The prescription...no cowbell...  Surf!  I am officially on Station 44009 watch.  The buoy giving me wave height, period, and most important, water tmperature.  Currently 39.  I am willing Spring in, I am willing the rise of the Atlantic's body temp into the 50's.  It's been 2n1/2 months dude.  Need to feel that salt against my skin.  Gotta get wet!  Cures what ale's ya...I mean what ails ya.
