[StartQuote] We seldom used our anchor. At Lambu Lambu we berthed in the mangrove roots and bushes along the shore. At Treasury we tied up to huge tree limbs that hung out over the water along the shore. At Rendova and Green Island we tied up to bouys. Tulagi had some berths and some bouys. When we first opened the base at Green we used the anchor until the base got the bouys set out. I recall one night at Green when a big wind storm blew in and we started dragging the bouy. We had to crank up and throw out the anchor. We dragged the anchor some distance before it caught and held. We didn't like to use them unless absolutely necessary. A lot of work pulling them in. C.
