Sqn: S.C.A.T.
Date: 3/21/43
Time: 1830
Wind: negligible
Clouds: 1/4 broken at 3,000 feet
Locn: Tulagi SPB
Task: Transport marine scouts to Segi, New Georgia

ORDERS: 21 March, a group of Marine scouts drawn from the raider battalions and graduates of the combat reconnaissance school are to be landed by PBY Catalina flying boat Dumbo at Segi Plantation on the extreme southeastern tip of New Georgia. Also among the crew are two Marine fighter pilots, their objective is to become familiar with the area. Once at Segi the Marine Raiders will rendezvous with Coastwatcher Donald G. Kennedy and will use natives as guides as they split into patrols and set out to scout possible landing beaches, landmarks, and motor torpedo boat anchorages. These patrols will be checking travel time from point to point, taking bearings on channels, scouted enemy dispositions and installations, and sketching crude maps to help fill in the scanty information already available.

After you Taxi from the SPB launch you are cleared to take off to your left, along the shallows of the norther nshore of Tulagi. The rest of Tulagi Harbor is full of traffic

You will meet a pair of new Corsair fighters over Henderson and they will escort you all the way to Vangunu.

Most of New Georgia, and Vangunu Islands are reef-lined, with Marova and Grassi Lagoons bordering the coast so be very careful when landing. Approch Segi from the north and set down in the channel. The coastwatchers are going to meet you at a pier just north of Segi Plantation, they will have a fire lit. When you land get close to the pier then shut down, all you have to do is wait in open water just a few minutes before taking back to the skies.

The Raiders will take care of the rest.

(Note: You will have to manualy land the PBY and then take off again at Segi in order to gain those points.)
