Well, I'm a merchant navy deck officer and I spend around 6 months each year at sea. I've seen some really major storms and during one of them, I completely forgot that no ship of that size had ever been sunk by storm. It can get really really rough on the bridge and you curse daylight and pray for night to come quicker so that you won't see the sea anymore. During rest hours I sat in my cabin terrified, unable to sleep or eat, gathering up moral strength to climb the stairs again for watch duty. I didn't pray to God, but to Neptune himself. We got out of that one, although we were all pretty shook up in the end. You should've seen us after the worst was over, laughing and joking around, smiles all around, during 15 meter waves and winds still howling and 60 knots. Felt like the smoothest seas and we never ate more or slept better that during that last day of the storm. I highly doubt I'll ever see such rough seas again.
So, if I ever see Neptune on my couch, I'll definitely say:
"Wanna' beer? I owe you one. No, no, don't get up! Hey, 6 months, every year, I sit in your couch, right?"
