Life at sea
We hit a cold front just cold tematures with some wind luckly helping us sail faster to are fisrt destination. In a one word my crew is well the food is keeping edable due to the cold front which is nice. Some crerw like this 18 year old didnt really know what he was in for and got sea sick. We should be at our first trade by the 30th of Novmber

Diner was, something
When the crew chef was calling us for super I notice that some of the food wasnt looking so good. Some men were complaing about the food how it was unedable but I made them eat it anyways. Next stop im going to try to get some rice or non pershable food.

The end ones journay
There was a reluctant sailor we will say. He instructed to clean the cannons just in case in which he denied of doing so. So the manager talked to him and then spoke to me. I went down said, son you have one answer if the answer isnt what I want to hear then insted of a cannnon ball coming out of the cannon it would be you. As the intro stated he was a good test for the cannon

Benguela Last stop
We arrived a couple day journany or mabye it was one day im to distracted but from the last stop. They said the rumor 9is the port of Boony has sent a pirate ship to come and hunt us down and steal our cargo. So much for bringing home treasures we ran out of all food and now gave up everything just for as much food as we can to get home. If it will be enough is the qustion. Hope is the answer. Vaseil. -
