An incident where I was caught in a storm

Q: An incident where I was caught in a storm

A dark shape was swallowing up the clear blue sky in huge greedy gulps. Soon, ominous black clouds covered the sky. Suddenly, our world turned white. There was an ear splitting crack. The boat rocked like a ragged doll being tossed by the angry waves.

I nervously moved the controls on the boat, steering it inland. I set the ship’s autopilot to the “ON” position as I stared intently at the Global Positioning System (GPS) next to the controls. It confirmed we were heading inland.

“Just a few more hours……” I trailed off. My teammate agreed.
