First part Light Airs and Clear weather, remainder fresh breezes and Cloudy. Berthed the Ship's Company, Mustered the Chests and Stove all that were unnecessary. Wind North-West, North-East, South-East; course South-West; distance 77 miles; latitude 48 degrees 42 minutes North, longitude 6 degrees 49 minutes West; at noon, Lizard North 29 degrees East, 80 miles.
Joseph Banks’ Journal
Wind fair and a fine Breeze; found the ship to be but a heavy sailer, indeed we could not expect her to be any other from her built, so are obligd to set down with this inconvenience, as a necessary consequence of her form; which is much more calculated for stowage, than for sailing.
