Thursday May 17



A wet morning plenty of wind, the distance today is 260 miles. They captured a large mulhawke today, it is a bird with white body and dark grey wings, it was 80 inches from tip to tip of the wings, it will eat 6 ozs. of pork at once.



Course from Cape Verde Islands to Cape of Good Hope almost sailed to South America
