Perhaps you might like to read some accounts of people caught in storms?
They don't describe elation afterward -more often great relief at having
survived.

What a strange question.

If you've done it, then I find it difficult to understand how it wasn't one
of the biggest thrills of your life.

Oz has mentioned the whoops and cheers. That is exactly what I have
experienced. Once the boat gets over 14 kts *everybody* begins to shout.
Even the inexperienced crew will love it .... unless they don't have total
confidence in the skipper!!!!
