Atlantic Ocean

First mate’s logbook

In the morning there were light airs from the SW and in the forenoon we had a calm. At noon our estimated compound course and covered distance of the last twenty-four hours was SE 5 miles, arriving at an estimated north latitude of 7º4’ and longitude 3º18’. Our actual north latitude was 7º8’, we saw debris adrift. During the afternoon and dog watches the wind was a quiet SW breeze and overall good weather. At night there was a SW to SSW calm. It was stormy, with thunder and lightning till morning.
