Have the utmost respect for professional mariners and navy. Unlike recreational folks they don’t get to pick their season and they’re usage of “weather window” is entirely different as well. Navy is even further confined by the mission. Think what you’ve seen is several orders of magnitude greater than me puddling around. In 35 years can count the sleepless night on my digits. However for stores we double what’s calculated as our likely best transit and don’t hesitate for a second to divert or change plans. Big advantage the recreational boater has is when you realize there’s no schedule that’s worth risking your life.
