One Week Into the Voyage

Our journey to the Southern Americas had to postponed the first few days since we realized we had little supplies for ourselves. We had to make an additional stop at Lisbon to restock out supplies.

Deadly Island

Apr 19, 1501

Halfway through our voyage home we came across an island and the captain decided to explore it once we got closer. So we dropped anchor and took half the crew to explore the island. Oce we had landed we broke into groups and spread out around the island. A few minutes in to the exploration we heard shouting and yelling. Turns out one of the groups had stumbled upon a group of angry baboons. After that event we decided to leave the island alone and continue on our journey home.

Sickness strikes

Jun 17, 1501

Something terrible has come upon us. A sickness has come into the ship. Thankfully it is a sickness that recedes by itself but it takes a toll on our men. It started with one man who had a high fever and stomach sickness. Most ignored it and said it was normal sea sickness, but we regretted that later on. Right as the man was looking better more and more of the crew became iduced with this sickness. This lengthened our voyage considerably.
