Rainbow was seen by us last evening as we were returning from H S gradation party! However, rainbows over the water are the best! Thanks

Terrific article, Phoebe. I can feel the wind lashing. I’ve never sailed the Mack but I have had some frightening experiences on the Atlantic off the New England coast. I am so glad no sailors were lost. I was driving home right before that storm hit Port Huron and all I could think about were all the sailors on Huron at that moment. Thank you!

We were camping at Wagener County Park when the storm hit and were so worried for all the sailboats we knew were out there. It was scary even on land! Now we know what it looked like for many of them, so glad all are safe. Thanks for writing this piece & shedding light!

Great sailing article. Safety is so important. Articles like this keep people thinking of what's necessary in the worst case.
