Storms are an opportunity to hunt fowl that drop feathers as they will sit there unable to take off unless you are literally on top of them. Whenever a storm occurs I drop whatever I'm doing, grab a bow and go hunting. When you are ready to go to sea you can expect that your weather woes are just beginning. But again, it will bring opportunity....

^ This. Very much this.

Just go for a cruise on a raft at night when there is a storm on, really therapeutic stuff.

Also this, though I prefer a karve over a raft.
