A dark, almost black cloud suddenly emerged on the horizon as we were approaching Samsø, Denmark on a sunny summer day. Minutes later the sun disappeared, the rain smashed against my face and the wind speed tripled in a matter of seconds. All hands on deck! When we had regained control of our sails, I spotted a boat in trouble in the distant and took this photo. We made it safely to port, and the picture was forgotten. Half a year later, while battling a depression, I refound it and edited it as a way to express my feelings. I can only hope that the other sailors made it through as well.
