[or-roots] Pacific Typhoon

[DAVIESW739 at aol.com]

Cecil,
   We were Naha, Okinawa when we had a big storm come though the  tug captain 
refused to help us out to sea. So we put the anchor chain over  on the bow 
and a huge steel cable over on the stern. All night long you  could here the 8 
in. hawsers  snapping one at a time. The next morning  all we had holding us to 
the dock was the anchor chain and the cable. Worse ride  I ever had tied to a 
cement dock. 
 
Fun being a Sailor HUH!!!!
