I remember reading books as a child about the ships coming to the new world and the winds would stop and they would be stuck out in the ocean for extended periods just waiting.

And yet, knowing this, these modern fools are acting like that does not happen or that batteries will somehow make up for the the randomness of these events.

Then they'd lower a couple of longboats, tie them off at the bow and start rowing and towing. Kept the crew busy on something other than usual maintenance tasks and made a little progress until the winds returned.
