Diary 5.4.1883

Thursday April 5


Got up at 7 o’clock had breakfast of porridge and sugar but had to wait till 2 o’clock for dinner which consisted of soup and pork with potatoes, I think by the time we get to Bundaberg we shall be able to grunt like a pig, we had a good sail today the distance run is 190 miles, we are 790 miles from San Anotino Island (Santo Antao), the wind is still very good and I sincerely hope it will still go on as I am getting tired of having nothing to do, it would be grand to work a few hours in the garden at Frizinghall (see below) making ready for the summer crop.
