As the linked article computes, and I know from experience ... no, absolutely not the worst excuse. Windage on these vessels is significant, a large, prolonged gust can move it significantly, and then the "Bank Effect" sucks the bow onto the bank.
Once the bow is stuck, the momentum keeps moving the vessel forward, wedging the bow harder and harder, and swinging the stern to the opposite bank.
