This true story, The Squall, is an amazing tale of one of those times when it looks like the jig is up and Davy Jones' locker awaits. Happy ending!!

This story does a fine job of capturing the unpredictable nature of the sea. I think it could be enhanced by building the tension beforehand. For instance, you could draw more on that motif of hearing the voice in your head that tells you not to do something. Maybe elaborate on what that voice is saying exactly. Or you could go more in depth in describing the feeling you had when you saw that dark sky at the end of the harbor.

This is a clever telling of a very scary event. I like that in your telling you included humor which, in retrospect is much easier than in the moment. Nicely done!
