Exploring the 1500s timeline.

Today, is the day that we are loading the ship and heading to Spain from Mexico. I have approximatly 250 crew members. I am the captian of this ship. We are going to Spain to hopefully find gold and silver. We are loading many crates of food and water and medical supplies. We have our ship organized and ready to go. All the supplies are put in a small entry way on the west side of the ship.

We are now running low on supplies but thats okay, we will be stopping at a port in Cuba to restock on everything. We need more food and water. Everyone on the ship seems to be eating more than they should. So, I'll have to have a meeting with them and talk about how much everyone should eat per person. Plus, We need to save food because our next stop wont be until we reach the port in Mauritania in Africa.

Today, we are stopping in Cuba to restock on supplies. We need more food, and water most of all. We haven't used much medicine because fortunetly nobody on the ship has gotten sick yet. Also, we need more blankets and bedding because everyone on the ship has been complaining of having sore backs from sleeping on nothing. The people here were generous enough to provide a little over 200 blankets, pillows, and foam material to sleep on.

It's been 11 days since we stopped at the port in Cuba. I had a meeting with my shipmates about not eating more than what I told them to eat. Some of them understood and did exactly what I told them to. They ate enough for them to last a day. The others got mad at me and told them that wasn't fair. But it is fair, there's enough food for everyone on this ship. We just can't all eat until we are all miserably full. We need to be rational.

Today, we are stopping in Puerto Rico to make sure we'll have enough supplies until we reach are next port in Africa. We have enough food to last a few more weeks, but we need to add more to it because going to Africa will take months.So, we recieved about 20 different crates with food and over 50 crates of water. This should last us the trip. Also, the people here provided us with even more medical supplies.

Many of the people on this ship are sick. They must have caught something at our last port in Puerto Rico. The conditions there weren't good but we had to get the supplies we needed. About 20 people on board have died from a fever. They must've caught a flu, because it's spreading rapidly. I'm trying my best to keep everyone seperate on this ship. But it seems like there's no way around this illness. I'm hoping everyone will be okay, and that nobody else dies.

We are almost to Mauritania, Africa. About 130 people died because of the flu. We are extremely low on supplies. We only have enough food to last a week. The people left on the ship with me are healthy and strong. So, I'm very thankful for that. Once we arrive to Mauritania, we are going to eat. A lot, so we can get even stronger. After we stop at Mauritania, we will be going to Spain. Where we'll recieve our gold. Once we get there we are planning to stay.

We have arrived to Mauritania. We are happy to be back on land again. The people here are so welcoming. We got enough food to last 8 weeks which is way more than we need. Also, once we arrived we were invited to have dinner with the Chief of one of the villages here. People here are pretty advanced. They gave some of my shipmates check ups from a doctor. Everyone's healthy. Once we have dinner with the chief then we will be on our way to Spain!

We will be arriving to Spain any hour now! Everyone on board is singing and dancing! It's been a long journey but it's sure been worth it! Since we were vary rational while eating our food we were able to save up enough food to have a party! Although, beans, rice, and a some other canned goods aren't the best party food, they'll do for now. Without all the people that helped me come here I wouldn't be here without them. I can't thank them enouh. And to the people we lost, may they rest in peace.

We have arrived to spain. We are overyjoyed. We have stopped and ate great food at one of the most famous resturants. We traded our gold for some weapons. It was a fair trade. We are happy that we made it here and are planning to stay a very long time if not forever. Everything here seems better. More clean and put together in a way. That's good though. Coming here was one of the best desicions I've every made.
