    Starting off

    Starting off
    Afonso de Albquerque was incharge of the sqaudron. I was the commander of the ship. I still believe that I shold have been the one in charge but at least it was someone I knew, my cousin. He had explained to us how our mission was to conquer Socota. We were lead to the east coast of Africa.

    The mission
    My cousin explained the plan to all the ships. I believe there was somewhere around 15 ships. The plan was to get to Socotra and bulid a fortress. This will enable trade in the Red Sea.

    We had made multiple successful attacks on the Arab cities on the East coast of Africa. While I was admiring the group of ships I saw a spot in the distance on the sea of blue and sometimes a grayish color. I had found a group of remote islands on the South Atlantic Sea.

    We were heading in to land at Madagasgar. While headed there I saw yet another island in the distance. They were the Cunha Islands. I named the main island after myself.

    Like I had said before, the siege is still going on after 2 months. I counted around 11 ships that fleeted under the Cunha from Socotra. They had roughly around 300 men.
