Rainy days

There is nothing as good as weakening the spirit as a rainy day, the sun is gone, the animals are hiding, all noise to be heard is the constant thunk of rain on the roof. It's days like these that make, or break you. You can raise your head and figure out some way around the relentless boredom of a rainy day, or you can give in, and fade out. Personally, rainy days are the worst of days, and finding a way to create excitement is a challenge. But on this rainy day, things changed. The storm was raging all around us in the tropical island of Saint John, but we had our plans, and they were not to be broken. We hopped into the car, and arrived on the far side of the island in a hidden snorkeling spot, as we departed from the car, the clouds parted and the rain stopped. Because of our perseverance we had the beach to ourselves. We got our snorkeling gear on and walked out to sea, there was an island, nearby to the shore, than my dad and I decided to swim around. At the far side of the small island, the wrath of the clouds was unleashed, the winds picked up, the rain clogged our snorkels, and the panic was starting. We lost sight of the shore through the rain, and we rushed in random directions back to shore, I was completely lost, and spotted a nurse shark. I started rushing towards my dad who grabbed me, right before I nearly collided with a massive Barracuda, we were in a pickle, of teeth. We rushed back to shore at breakneck speed, and collapsed on the wet sand, suddenly, the rain came to a stop. Its days like these, that you can either laugh off, or live in the fear that it will happen again.
