| Spring 'Noreaster, 5/5 |
Went down to the beach yesterday. Very brief trip. Thought I could catch a glimpse of hope. Not so. Surf was a mess. Water still hovering at 49F. The blowing onshores of a mild 'noreaster made for a cool, albeit not unpleasant weekend. Got plenty of yard work done. Grass, deck, gardens. Cut, cleaned and deweeded. Next week's forcast looks promising though.
Okay, so I'm crossing the Rt. 50 bridge on my way back to the 'Bury to feed the machine, and in my periph to the left I spot these rollers. Right in the bay as the current flows from the inlet inward and runs up on a sandbar, one that has been slowly sinking away over the years. Seen it before. Just saw it break last Thursday. I pulled off to better survey this lost wave. Lost, like the swell somehow wandered into the Sinepuxent and jacked onto this small shoal. It breaks between the entrance to the OC Fishing Center Marina to the west and the Fishing Docks south of the Bridge to the east. I've even seen it ridden before. Last summer. When conditions are right it makes for a clean break. Sweet switch-hitter...right or left. Probably best ridden with a log, but so what. Always nice to ride new territory. I plan on squeezin' at least a couple outta her at some point.

Whilst I wait for any kind of swell... the beer of recent. 21st Amendment's Brew Free! Or Die IPA. Nice hazy orange/amber pour. 2 Finger milky white head. Good lacing. 70 IBUs give it a juicy hop bite with 2-row malts playing into the sweet overtones. This one is rich. Very smooth and easy drinking. At 7% ABV it is understandable how the six varieties of hops can make a chump outta you after three or four. Gimme number five! I rated this an A-.
