Here Comes The 150, the Target's notes.

A cold low brings with it low tide and low (knee high) surf. 47th Street break, 4/30/2015

OC beaches taking the hard green line.

  A harsh winter that seemed to seep into your bones. A late spring that would bounce back and forth between freezing temps to short sleeve weather in a matter of days. As the temps rose in April, so did the pollen counts; matching record highs for our area. Those particles became the straw that broke me...did me in. For most of the month of April I had battled them particulates and humbly withdrew from Journey participation, cancelling DWatt's core pursuit on more than one occasion (much to his chagrin). So I must take full responsibility for our lack of post updates, for without the entire Crew, there can be NO review. But, once again I digress, for this post provides the one and only for the month of April. A notification of the new ban prohibiting smoking on the beach. A celebration of the 150 days of summer that are about to begin.
   Our local Right Coast waters continue to hover in the 48 to 49F range. Surf put off another week, Left to other devices, the Wattman chose a sorta-kinda new destination.  The former Station 7 on Old Bridge Road in West O was bought out by a couple of local charter boat captains and turn and burned into the Full Moon Saloon. An uber-locals bar replete with all the expecteds. All domestics on draft, but served in very frosted glasses as out first round had proven. All the basic bar grub on the menu (though they claim they do it better). Your basic aged locals atmosphere with plenty of flatties to view and 50's music for the grandparents to enjoy. The bar was full...the only part of the place that was full (other than the parking lot), so we at a side table and ordered up the Buffalo Wings and Crab Bagelettes. Wings were breaded...and bland. The crab thingees had limited crab which tasted pre-frozen (i.e. fishy) which they may must have been trying to hide with all the pepper on them. Overall, a disappointment. They need to up their game, work out the kinks; if they intend to be a player to the locals...and stay open past 10 pm. They're new. We'll see.

THE RATINGS:

Wings: D+

Crab Bagelettes: C-

Beer: C

Atmosphere: C

Overall Score = 1.75
