Hurricane Grace

I don't always look into my drawings for references to my physical life, but this one is screaming shipwreck... I only discovered that when I turned it around to its current orientation just now.
God I love surprises.
A friend and I were lost in the Mid-Atlantic during a hurricane in 1991. Sailing from Virginia to Bermuda on a small boat, we ran right into it. And the waters heaved and roiled just like this. (The Coast Guard rescued us after a few days; I love those guys). That memory lives on in me, surfacing every once in a while.
