Sanya port in a storm

Xena headed off ex Sanya, Hainan, the night before last, to go North to avoid the above bit of weather, but then came back into Sanya Port, after some discussions by Satphone, where she now is safely tucked in with some commercial craft, experiencing 40+ knots, anchor holding.  This nasty lump of 50+ knots is forecast to go by today and be out of the way to the NW by tomorrow afternoon, winds then moderating staying SE for a couple of days, then freshening from NE -- what we want as Xena's headed down to Phuket in Thailand for the King's Cup.
Fortunately the Immigration guys in Sanya didn't cause a problem, as we might have expected from previous experience, saying they understood the issue, Safe Haven, Port in a storm, and all that...
PS: for friends and family who may not know: Hainan is the Chinese Island, right above that bit of purple...  It's where we sailed to in the race last week from Hong Kong, 365 nautical miles.

UPDATE (09:00, 28th Oct):

 The TRS became named Typhoon Son-Tinh and moved a bit faster than
expected, to the N. Vietnam Coast.  Here at 08:00 HK time this morning.
For the trip south to Phuket, winds expected to moderate and veer South,
before backing to North again later in the week, and abating.
