I used to see a lot of rainbows when I was a kid, but I hardly see any now, and I miss miss them. I used to think of them as an archway or an entrance to another world. Thanks tor the haiku, Fred.

Thank you, Martin. We saw more rainbows when we lived close to the water. The rainbows, often double, were spectacular as the arched over the bay.

That's what happened me, Fred. My homeplace is beside the sea, then I had to move to the city for work etc and the rainbows became a rare sight. How often do we see rainbows in the middle of a city? 🌈

Getting caught in a thunderstorm while on the ocean? I would say that was more than unpleasant.

I spent the worst part of the storm huddled under a tarp with another paddler on a beach near Fogland Point in the Sakonnet Passage, but the thunder and lightening persisted. Our cars were a couple miles away, so we had little choice but to relaunch and paddle back in the storm’s remnants.

More terrifying would have been a waterspout bearing down on us or a whale breaching nearby.
