Remarks Friday 15th June 1792 In Matavai Bay

Light Easterly Winds and Calms the Nights and Mornings are generally Calm with light Land Airs.

Employed as Yesterday. Supplies sufficient but am frequently obliged to send People to Oparre and about these Districts to purchase them. The Natives seem indifferent to any intercouse of Trade with us. We have now scarce twenty Persons on board in a Day, and not more who come to the Post at Sun down to see the marines exercised; where we have had several hundred since we have been here, and many hundreds every Evening of my stay at Oparre last Voyage.
