Swell, Finally!

Rhode Island has been in a bit of a drought, which is sad for spring, especially when there's supposed to be April showers and May flowers.  But we finally got some rain!  And plenty of breeze along with it.  Many of the surfers who have been craving swell the past couple of months were finally given what they were asking for, and 6+ waves hit the Rhode Island coast.  I sat out at State Pier No. 5, also known as Monahan's Dock to the locals, and watched the hoards of surfers challenging the wind, waves and rain.

How I got this shot:  Nikon D80, Nikkor 70-200mm VRII, and a Rain Sleeve (looking at getting a teleconverter to help give my lenses more reach)
