Gloucester: Todd Bleckley of Malden carries his surf board on his head while crossing the footbridge at Good Harbor Beach Tuesday. Bleckley and his fiancee, Heidi O'Brien, both tested the waters but said the conditions were rougher than they expected so they were packing it in for the day. The trip wasn't a waste though, said Bleckley. "A bad day surfing is better than no surfing at all." .Photo by Mike Dean/Gloucester Daily Times Tuesday, February 19, 2008
