sailing in heave storms in contrary wind
I used to have trouble sailing in heavy storms with the winds at certain angles to my U-boat. But I finally learned to use the snorkle to get around this - I found all you need do is run with it up as you sail on the surface. That keeps the diesels going - which keeps the chief from trying to recharge the batteries every time a huge wave forces the electrics to run for a few seconds.
