With enough bouyancy and speed, the harshest of sunlight, and generous ladles of sea-foams frothing in the outriggers of the boat, one can get a glimpse of the madness of rainbows in the middle of the ocean. I have seen several: one really has to be vigilant – wait for the ocean to slam its weight into the speeding boat, and as the spray leaps into the air, crisp and bleached from too much sun, there impaled on the darkness of the ocean several streaks of misplaced rainbows, like a mermaid’s trick on the eye.
