But wait, What is that sound I hear. Sounds like a double jack striking solid rock.

It's all becoming perfectly clear now.

There's a grizzled old man over there muttering to no one in particular,
"It was all Bernard's fault on the sonar not telling me it was an American ship! Honest! I didn't get the ULTRA report! My dog ate my homework! What's one lousy aircraft carrier between friends?"

We all love you RR

To the point of this thread:
I have had just the opposite experience, I'm in Oct.'43 and have yet to find bad weather, and it's a pain the shoot daylight shots in clear skys and calm seas. Choppy seas is the best I can get.
Someone once said "Bad weather is your friend."
