I think the longest run of bad weather that me and my crew had to endure was something like 25 days in a row. According to the narrative 'das boot', that is not an unrealistic time frame for a north atlantic stormcell to continue. Then you get into the eye of the storm, and all goes calm for a day or three, then, bam! outta nowhere, the other wall of the stormcell hits, and there goes another 25 days of 15m/s winds, waves always breaking over the tower, forcing the watch crew under for minutes at a time, and hey, got enough water? How bout some rain? or if you don't like that, what about fog so thick you can't see the foreship? Yeah, this is a nasty business.
