A break in the rain and wind prompted a kayak quick trip with rod and reel. Is the fishing rod an excuse to paddle? Or is it the other way around? Doesn't matter. Decent sized post-storm waves kept me inside the breakwater...which is not where the fish were. A cow-nosed ray surfaced close by, and at first I thought it may have been fish. But then my dim brain kicked in and I realized the fin shape was that of a ray, not the dorsal fin of a striper.
Fun trip in waves and beat the next round of rain in by just a few minutes.
