Shows how the focus is on the weather. Even if described in almost poetic way, and even if the moon is mentioned a couple of times; authors point is to give an account of what the weather was like during the journey to Holford. Reader is told about the clouds, wind gusts, sound of the storm, what things looked like before and after it hit. Notice, however, that the writer does not express any dislike for the stormy weather. It is just a simple account of it, but written in a beautiful manner.
