The remnants of Hurricane Ida left us with a stiff gusty wind, a grey misty day punctuated by occasional downpours, and nice waves, mostly two footers at first but building to 4-5 feet as the tide went out.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqqJAO7wKsPtWwJi-_OnPs2zZViC4ei1YNsumV00YGTZzdl4rWe0sLOnmofRMRlS-P0eenFYGoc3WM8DehWhMvqlLwX-B4g0tzfSHrkYHqU-n-Q8xEg6qmIar0hjy8H5kpMVyy/s320/NearpattagansettMarsh.jpg)

A nice day and my first combat roll in over a year, when I wasn't paying especially close attention at the end of the day.

That's the crew on the beach near Patagansett Marsh, Bill hooking into a little roller, and a touch of bittersweet on the shore.
