Departing from Arles
I have extensively prepared for this journey. I've gathered 30 men and enough provisions for a month. My only regret is leaving my sweet wife Nydroj behind. -

The Expedition of a Lifetime

Jan 3, 1542
Arles to Amsterdam
Things are going well. The men are cheery and we haven't encountered any problems thus far. The beans we had for dinner will haunt me as I attempt sleep tonight. -

The Port of Amsterdam
The provisions are lasting well as we arrive at the port of Amsterdam. Unfortunately, during a regular storm last night, Tony was thrown overboard and taken into the depths of the sea. The men are solemn but it will not stop us. -
Jan 7, 1542
Amsterdam to Cologne
There was a fight on the dech this morning. Johnny seemed to think that Khalil stole his deck of cards, so they fought and now we're down to 28 people. Nobody messes with Johnny now. Are food supply and water supply are holding up nicely. -

The Port of Cologne
Today we arrived in the port of Cologne. As the salt air filled my lungs I thought about the ones we have lost so far on this journey. We consider this about the halfway point of our expedition. -
Jan 13, 1542
Cologne to Heidelberg
We are officially out of bacon. The men are screaming and outraged but there is nothing I can do until we get to Heidelberg. I've locked myself in my chambers, and have given the men pork and beans to tide over their hunger. -

The Port of Heidelberg
Finally, we are at Heidelberg. I'm finally able to give the men what they want so I went to the Heidelberg market and stocked up on bacon. But during the time without it, Johnny killed another man due to his hunger for bacon and frustration, so I made Johnny walk the plank. We are now down to 26 men. -
Jan 25, 1542
Heidelberg to Strasbourg
The men are excited as our expedition slowly comes to an end. I can not wait to see my wife, I think of her every second. Every day I grow more anxious to walk on land for more than a day at a time. -
Jan 31, 1542
The Port of Strasbourg
The whole crew cheers as we enter the port of Strasbourg. Our expedition was mostly successful with only 4 deaths. My wife surprised me in Strasbourg with news of a child on the way.
