ofward

Updated: June 4, 2025

We sailed this day south-south-east ofward, and laid it a tric. The next day was calm and thick, with a great sea. The next day we sailed south and by east two leagues, and at 8 of the clock in the forenoon we cast about to the eastward. The sixth day it cleared, and we ran north-west into the shore to get a harbour, and being towards night, we notwithstanding kept at sea.
