May 20, 1945 - Morning - Going through the channel which is very narrow and shallow into the river where we will anchor until we pick up our load. There is about 9 or 10 planes in the river. The are all American PBM’s and PBY’s except for one British Short-Sunderland. There is about 40 LSTs anchored in the river and it is really a crowded place to try to anchor. Noon - Section 2 got liberty - dress blues with a white hat.
