Day at the sea

16 days is the how many days we have been on our journey and we still have a while to go. We have a whole trip ahead of us and everyone is really excited. We are on a ship named Barquentine. It has 4 very large sails and it can carry 250-500 tons.it is a sturdy ship and it is able to take us on our journey to Austrailia.

Day at sea

Nov 16, 1528

A couple days ago a few of the crew mates caught a common disease known as Scurvy disease. The crew members got it from lack of vitamin C. The passengers who have scurvy are experiencing apetite loss, poor weight gain, diarrhea, and much more symtoms. The only way to cure it is to get more vitamin C in the persons body. We don't have any left so the people having symptoms might just have to suffer till we find more.

Some of the crewmates that have scurvy have been getting worse and its hard for us to watch this and not be able to do anything about it. The captain has been doing his best but he said we would be able to see land 2 days ago and still no sign. The crewmates are getting nervous and unsurewe are
going to make it to our destination. Everyone on board has lower confidence
compared to when we started this journey. But I think we will be fine.
