The rain on the cabin top.

There is a sincerely amazing quality to being on boats in the rain. The way the sounds are carried through the hull. The slap of the waves driven by the breeze. The heavy pounding or the lightest drip on the roof. It all creates a feeling of being so close to the water. That there is a single environment. A place of refuge from the storm. In Hawaii they have a name for that o'hana. For us who live here it is a very welcoming place indeed. I am blessed to be able to do this.
