    Halfway to new lands

    Halfway to new lands
    We are halfway to the new lands and we have encountered a storm. I hope that it will be a short storm. Its also been suprising that we are halfway to the new lands.

    Traveling to another beach

    Traveling to another beach
    We are traveling to another beach to hopefully find some more locals to trade with but we are having trouble with the waves crashing on the ship side and somewhat blowing us off course.

    The locals beach

    The locals beach
    We landed on another beach but we were running out of food fast. So we had to trade some of the pots and ceramics for some oddly good meat and fresh water. But with the pots and ceramics we still have we can still make a big profit.

    Going back
    We are heading back now since we got what we needed and now we will set off back to spain to sell the goods. There is a little storm but it won't come near us.

    The storm

    The storm
    There was a hurricane going back to spain, we were knocked off course and we don't know where we are but I hope we can find our way back. Their was some causalties but not a lot of us died, but enough to hinder our progress.

    Land

    Land
    We have hit land. But it was not spain or any of Europe, we think it is Africa in the southern hemisphrere. Luckily there was some locals hunting and guided us back to there docks.

    Heading back to Spain

    Heading back to Spain
    The locals were friendly but we could tell they did not want us there, so we asked them which way was Spain. Luckily they knew where it was since it regularly got spanish ships to trade with.

    Spain

    Spain
    We finally got to Spain and the price of the travel was well worth it, since we are practicaly rich people by selling those items and now I can finally retire in peace with money in my pocket.
