knew and experienced it yesterday (July 22). Wave wasn't that high
but strong wind that wiped up everything. My ferry ride from Hong
Kong to Macau during a Typhoon Signal #3.
I have marked the boat's route in the first picture; the route took
out most of the rough sea but could not totally avoid it. After we
cross over the mouth at the Pearl Delta, we got pounded! Suddenly.
The ferry speed slowed. And we got tossed like yo you. Good that I
did not have a full stomach; mostly digested from morning b'fast and
only my last cup of Triple-shot skim milk latte just before we
departed. I did everything in my power not to puke.
When I got to Macau and to the apartment, my mom laughed. I looked
pale. A warm cup of ginger tea and several burping episodes, my well
being was restored. I was ready to hit the road running. Funny never
felt that. We were tossed about for about 20 minutes. Jetfoil,
jetfoil. Should have declined the offer of taking an earlier and
bigger boat. I should have stuck with Jetfoil. At least it skimmed
the water and taken most of the wave off. But who knows...
The second picture with a circle was the direct path of the tropical
storm which eventually tuned into a typhoon before heading to land.
