Today we're enduring a very harsh winter. A lot of the men are starting to wish they wouldn't have come on this voyage. I can ionly hope that this winter won't last for mush longer. We,re going to anchor in Puerto San Julian for a while.

Today a terrible thing happened. One of our ships has capsised. All of the crew members were saved except for one of them. We only have four ships but we will still go on.

We stopped here for supplies. We aren't staying here long. We'll keep searching for a passasge in a day or two.

Today we have found a strait to the Pacific! After a year of searching we will continue along this and see where it takes us. The mood on the ship today was a happy one and I think it will be for a while.
