HAHA, I survived a couple typhoons when stationed on a 95' patrol boat in the South Pacific. Nothing like feeling good and eating as much food as you want because everyone else can't stomach a cracker:)

Definitely survival of the fittest when the ocean is in charge but I loved every minute of it.

Fear is being 19 years old on the main deck, in our shop,32 feet above the water line looking STRAIGHT UP at waves topping the 05 level. Ready for typhoon but can still hear things breaking loose.
FEAR turns to TERROR when 2 of our Chiefs, WWII vets come into the shop wearing LIFE JACKETS.
