We saw the black get closer and closer faster than any ship could travel. The rain started with two big drops on my head. Next it was nothing but buckets. The wind went from nothing to a howl.

Rain among rain and wind gust after gust was all we knew for hours. The next morning all we could see was cloudy water and boats sitting there like nothing had ever happened.
