The ship/storm is a beautiful metaphor, but what struck me as the best metaphor was "I cut my teeth on a lot worse". However that line should read, "but I've cut my teeth on a lot worse" to be grammatically correct. Just an idea for you. Good write, simple language but it conveys a good metaphor, especially with the grey colour of the website surrounding it.

I liked very much the metaphors that you used. My understanding of it is that some bad is brewing possibly a row before you leave. With a loved with whom you have lost all hope for reconciliation. That you have been there before and faced much worse. So you are resigned and saying bring it on, do your worst but you wont stop me going in the morning
