First mate’s logbook

The wind came from land in the morning and the forenoon, and we had good weather. We sent the boat out for firewood and assembled 2 water barrels. We received 2 canoes of water on board. In the afternoon the wind was a gentle topgallant sail breeze from the south-west. We had good weather. At night a gentle breeze came from NW to N, and it stayed that way until the morning.
