As you can imagine, metocean data are critical to offshore engineering and we have whole teams that study that shit. The extended periods of non-existent or insufficient wind (coupled with the occasional “excessive” amount) makes wind power in the Gulf inconsistent at best, unreliable at worst.
I just remember it would get so damn hot working through the pile on the back deck during those times. Sometimes we would almost hope for a bad haul so that we would pick up and run to a new spot and thereby get some breeze.
Shrimpin’ ain’t easy.

Tangentially related, here’s a short clip of the Barmy Army in Australia basking in the afterglow of a rare test win at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
I’ve got Waltzing Matilda stuck in my head and you best believe I’m blaming you.
