Apply ice or cold water to your wrists and other pulse points.

Avoid drinking dehydrating beverages and drink plenty of water, low sugar drinks and mineral water.

Use body moisturizers and sunscreens with cooling aloe vera.

Scale back and eat more often instead of eating big meals.  A big meal increases your metabolism and body temperature.

Wear light colored loose fitting clothes.

West Marine has expanded the size of the store at Herrington Harbour North in Tracy’s Landing, Maryland.  The newly enlarged West Marine store is now 10,000 square feet with a broad selection of maintenance supplies, electrical and plumbing equipment and a sailing department brimming with hardware to meet the needs of sailors racing in the Chesapeake Bay or cruising on the Eastern Seaboard.  In addition, there’s a stylish assortment of boating apparel and footwear designed by boaters for boaters.

This West Marine will have a crew of 20 Associates with more than 200 years of combined boating, sailing and fishing experience.  Store Manager, Cristyn Johnson, is a Maryland native and has over 20 years of sailing experience (along with over five years of power boating and fishing experience) on the Chesapeake Bay.  During her down time she enjoys cruising on her 30-foot Catalina sailboat.

West Marine’s Grand Opening festivities include three days of special events beginning Friday, July 15th through Sunday, July 17th from 8:00am to 9:00pm.  Activities include fishing seminars, high tech electronic demonstrations, a kayak pool, door buster deals, prize giveaways and free refreshments.

Local marine businesses will be on deck with expert advice including Herrington Harbour Marinas, Free State Yachts, Integrity Yacht Sales, Shiver Me Timbers, Atlantic Spars and Rigging, Duffy Electric Boats, West River Cruises, South County Signs, Osprey Marine Composites, Marine Technical Services and Composite Yachts.

“All of us at the Tracy’s Landing West Marine are eager to serve our customers at our newly expanded location, “says Cristyn Johnson.  “We designed this store based on customer feedback and we hope to have all the products South County boaters need, for a great day on the water,” she adds.
