In Santa Cruz Tenariff
The first and latter part Moderate Breezes and fair Weather with Variable airs in the Night and Small drizling Rain.
Employed completing the Work of the Rigging, and the Carpenters repairing the Stern, sent the Empty Water Casks for Water to be filled by the People on Shore, as I thought in improper to risk my own Boats for fear of Accident from the Surf, and in the Morning I sent on board Eight hundred & Sixty three Gallons and a half of Wine from Collogan & Sons Contractors.
The Surf being so very high four Puncheons were Stove to peices & lost.
At 20 hour 43′ Apparent Time I found the Longitude by Time Keeper 16°17′West.
The Thermometer in the Air at Noon 69°.
