That's why quite a few of us boaters have two pilot stations. One in the salon (pilothouse) for the limited number of precipitation/frigid days... and... One for the many, many nice days we spend on the bridge. Such as are the weather conditions in many regions of the world.
With Otto at the helm, there's plenty of time to enjoy/sniff the air. (I'm not a current fan of ultra violet light because I've had much more than enough sailing in an open sailboat's cockpit.)
