UncommonPromise

We relaxed at the outer edge of the islands, enjoying the full sun that streamed through the day, basking in the midst of endless blue sea. There wasn’t enough wind for sailing.  At dusk’s approach, clouds began to form in the distance. Then, a gust of wind, a smatter of rain, and before we were fully prepared, a full-blown ocean storm, our boat heaving and twisting on rising waves.

We entered the harbor at last, but the relentless winds pulled our anchor free. We had no choice but to leave, re-enter the storm, and hope to find another protected harbor before night fell. The passage to safety lay directly through the squall.



The next evening we reflected on that treacherous passage as we glided silently and effortlessly through glassy waters at dusk, nearing our evening quay. Amazed at the dramatic change in such a short time, we were thankful for our safe passage and once again reminded of the inevitable calm that follows the storm.
