RedactedNarrative: Officer was dispatched to Watch Hill Light, Westerly for a report of a capsized boat with two subjects in the water. 
  
  While on route, dispatched advised Off. that both subjects were on shore and being evaluated by Westerly Rescue. When Off. arrived at the scene, he met with Boat Owner who stated that he and his son were fishing on the east side of Westerly Light house in the high surf produced by tropical storm Melissa. 
  
  The motor was off, and the boat was drifting. A wave then pushed them closer to shore so, he decided to start the engine, however, another wave hit and swamped and then capsized the vessel.  
  
  Both were thrown from the boat.  Neither were wearing PFD’s.  They managed, however, to swim to shore with only minor cuts and scrapes. The boat sustained $15,000.00 damage as it was pounded by the surf into the rocks.
