How is that different from the historical world where a ship might be delayed for months before getting a wind that will let it leave port.

5 People turn up to the medieval earth game where their PC's are to transport a cargo to the next port. Everybody is excited about the upcoming scenario!!
Play starts with the prevailing winds roll.. Player: Oh dear, the prevailing winds roll is against us, I guess we get to wait a week.

Repeat.
