I've been there courtesy of the U.S. Navy - major typhoon in the Western Pacific hit Taiwan while my ship was in Kaohsiung harbor. A Japanese freighter sunk in the mouth of the harbor. Fortunately there was enough room to get past. We had to head directly into the growing storm for several hours to get to open sea because turning away while too close to land could cause us to capsize from the ground swells. When we did turn, we had to just angle away bit by bit. This added deep rolling to the pitching we had been experiencing. It was quite a ride. :yikes:
Rode a second one about a year later heading out from Subic Bay in the Philippines. That one wasn't as bad. The first one was a doozy.
Baja Ron's anti-sway bar wouldn't have helped this one.
