Dear Diary,
My crew and I left the port of Cadiz and we left to begin our voyage to the Fortunates Isles. They are situated in the Ocean-sea in the west. We remained eight days in the City of Lisbon, taking anything necessary like food, water, or wood. We said our prayers, weighed anchor, beginning our course westward. We have sailed for thirty-seven until we reached a land that I believe it is a continent.
