The Storm at Sea...

I was on our family boat when dark, grey clouds

started looming over us. Rain started pelting down like tonnes of tiny pebbles. The boat rolled and swayed in the

frothing water as the sea pounded against us.

All I could see were pellets of ice and rain falling from the sky. My dad went to boil up some hot vegetable soup. The was super rough and the boat was shaking.

I was scared to death when I heard the rumbling thunder as well. My little cousin was scared as well so I went to hug him super tight, and told him not to worry.

After all this, the thunder stopped and we all tried to go to sleep, but we just couldn't sleep with all the noise coming from outside. I dosed off for a couple of hours while the rain stopped.

I woke up at about. 7 in the morning when I saw grey clouds from a distance the sky above us was a bit clear and a bit cloudy. I was sure it was going to rain again.

In other words it started raining again. By the time my entire family had woken up. We had a big portion of hot vegetable soup Left from yesterday, so for lunch we ate that.

Strong waves were against us, and the roof started to leak. We were so close to get back to the Maltese Islands. I might have to admit that this was a pretty rough trip.

Fortunately enough for us, we arrived in Malta a couple of days later. The trip took us two extra days because of the rain and the waves.
