"We braced the yards up at 1.30 am this morning and the port watch furled the fore upper topsail at 7 am. All hands took in the foresail at 8 am. We squared the yards at 9 am and 11.30 am. It was misty and damp.

The expected blow did not come so the port watch set the foresail at 3 pm. We set the fore topsail at 5.30 pm.

At 6.30 pm the port watch set the main lower topga'n'sail. There is a fine strong fair wind although the drizzle has returned and it is very cold."
