Tuesday April 10
Was on deck at 6 o’clock three sails in view low astern and one ahead, a beautiful morning, breakfast of porridge and sugar, Emily Ann went to the ship’s cook and gave him a tip so we got some toast, we shall be able to get some anytime now we made a very good breakfast. Not much wind today only run 104 miles, San Anotone Island in sight (as the most northern of the Cape Verde Islands and at 1,979m high, it would have been the first to appear on the horizon) 62 miles almost ahead, it looks like two black clouds in the distant sky, it is a very hot day the sun is almost shining straight down upon us.
