Day 1, Septerember 22nd,1500
We leave for our trip. The men are excited, even though we all know that we will have to fight through mean deadly tasks that could meet to our demise. We will have to fight through diseases, the common sicknesses, and pirates hungry for any treasures we may have on us. But still, we are determined to accomplish this dreadful task.

It's Christmas eve. Almost 2 years have passed. It's sad that some men couldn't be here today. Men were dying left and right from being overwhelmed of sicknesses. The most common sickness was scurvy. Scurvy was a disease from the deficiency of vitamin C.
-
It's the middle of July. The heat is overpowering. The boat is filled with the foul oder of sweat. Men are thriving for cold water. Most men don't even wear their shirts, instead they'll use them like they are towels. We are almost at our first destination, which is West Africa for slaves.
-
We've just left our first destination, West Africa. We captured multiple slaves and stocked up on some food. When we first met the West African port the men were excited. Some cried when their feet had finally touched the silky smooth sand of the West African coast. Surely, some men were not too excited to get back to sea.
-
We are lost at sea. The captain is trying to hide the fact we are lost. But rumors are spreading fast. Men are freaking out, but we still have plenty of resources to get back on track, the compass, astrolable, and the sextant.
-
We have reached our next stop, which is the South African Port. We stopped here because we have lost many supplies and most of our men want to get out of this dreadful ship. Men are excited to go hunting and touch their feet on the earthen ground.
-
Many slaves have died on this trip. So we have decided to stop at the East African port. We are hoping to find tougher and stronger slaves for our labor.
-
We have made it to the Southern Indian port. We are looking to see if we can find any valuables to steal to help trade with the Chinese for more spices and silk. This may cost us lives. But, the greedy minds of the crew has darkened their thoughts.
-
We have finally reached China! Many men have died to this trip to China, but overall it was worth it. This country is beautiful, but we are here for 2 reasons. Their silk and spices.
