I think despite the storm belts it happened a few times that someone in the watch crew went overboard in heavy seas.

Also it seems that north of the Orkneys, the sea is always terrible!

But the problem is not so much the waves but the visibility. I am always afraid to stumble upon a destroyer at point blank range in the middle of a storm and then get rammed, or even an armed merchant.

I got sunk twice like that, so now i submerge as much as possible when the visibility is poor, especially at night to avoid these kind of encounters. It is particularly bad when the visibility is poor and you have heavy rain on top of it.
