Dear Diary,
It’s been 2 months into my journey to find a route to Asia. Luckily none of my crew has caught scurvy yet, though our Caravel is starting to collect too much water in the bilge. Depending on if we avoid any storms the build up will not be fatal to the ship.
The crew is losing enthusiasm as we havn’t discovered any land yet, which isn’t helping. It’s probably time to start a new shanty or start a new dance to get them rowing fast enough to make adequate use of the sail and wind blowing westward.
Earlier today I saw dark clouds rising upon the horizon, and I’m hoping that they will disperse before the storm comes. The barometer levels are regular, but not for long.
All there is to do is watch and pray.
