I love the mood of this picture...Quiet, almost somehow at an end or loss.

Wonderful! Like a moody sky before the storm.

I like the overall mood but the colour of the sea seems odd. It's rather reddish brown, as are the sails.

May I suggest to crop out the bottom part of the sea?
IMHO the current amount of sea makes the composition too much "relaxed", without tension, so that when my eyes arrive to the boat my brain says: "Ok, I get it".
I think that cropping out the bottom part of the sea would add tension between the little boat and the huge sky, adding tension to the shot.

It's like this...I got several sky images that evening and was going to do something abstract with them.
But, to cover my butt, I also got some water with boat images.
Wasn't satisfied with the abstracts so I just combined water with the sky to avoid having a wasted evening.
