This looks intense... but imagine 400 years ago going across the Atlantic on a wooden ship not knowing when you'd be on land again.

I sailed a 3 master through the tail of a tropical storm. Steel ships cut through the waves as you can see. Wooden ship float like a cork - and you'd better hope none of your shipmates suffer from seasickness, but there's no judging where it's gunna land in seas like this!
