Sailing on the sea I often find myself trying to keep ahead of an oncoming squall and its associated rain clouds to avoid sudden wind shifts and getting soaked to the skin! I love the way the sky darkens and casts a shadow over the sea. The rain obliterates the light from the sky with its heavy inky-blue storm clouds creating a wonderful contrast with the brightness of the sea.
