Journal

In addition to our allowance of 1/24 lb Bread and a Jill of water for breakfast and Dinner I served 6 oysters to each person.

We passed a number of water Snakes that were Ringed yellow and black, and towards noon a good deal of Rock Weed. Altho the weather is fair yet we are constantly wet with the Sea and two people are always obliged to bail the Boat.
