<DIV>Cecil,</DIV>
<DIV> We were Naha, Okinawa when we had a big storm come though
the tug captain refused to help us out to sea. So we put the anchor chain
over on the bow and a huge steel cable over on the stern. All night long
you could here the 8 in. hawsers snapping one at a time. The next
morning all we had holding us to the dock was the anchor chain and the cable.
Worse ride I ever had tied to a cement dock. </DIV>
