Entry: I need sunshine... Wednesday, January 19, 2005



Winter Blahs, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Cabin Fever...

Well, whatever you want to call it I think I have a touch of it today and so to reflect on warm, blue skies of days past, I offer the following photos from August, 2004. Yet more surfing pics, although  man, was it WINDY that day!  There was a crazy southbound "current" although it was really just the wind pushing the water - and us on our funboards - in that direction. I think we are giggling because we were struggling to hold the boards upright for the picture due to those gusts. I think the clouds look very cool , if not slightly intimidating. I think this was one of the first times I went out on a "real" board before - my sister is pretty darn good and she gave me some good pointers, even though it was a lousy day for it.



And here we are "setting up" to attempt to catch a ride in...



 

I am looking forward to more surfing this summer...until then I will have to manage to navigate the ice pond in my yard.

WOW you surf. I am duly impressed. I think a woman that can surf is very sexy. No I am not a lesbian I am happily married. I just think it is a sexy thing for a woman to do. That and play the sax.

yes, actually there have been surfers killed or injured by sharks at the Jersey Shore, esp. when the water is warm - around August/Sept. However in Brigantine there are lots of dolphins so we are more likely to have them accompany us, esp. on a calm day, when you can kayak out a bit deeper. They are so friendly!

Hey, B, do you use all that gnarly surfin' lingo, like?

Cabin fever to the max! It also reminds me that I missed a whole summer. I went to the beach once last year: the afternoon before my accident ... hmmm ...

Looks pretty windy out there. You guys have sharks? We get attacks a couple of times a year.
