Remarks Friday 29th June 1792 Matavai Bay

Land and Sea Breezes at East & SEbS with Calms in the first part of the Morning. Thermometer from 75 to 81 Degrees.

Employed repairing Boats Sails, Repairing the Whale Boat, Sawing Plank, In the after Hold, and Cooper repairing Casks.

Sufficient Supplies, but obliged to send about the Shore to purchase them, very few brought to the Ship. No people of any consequence about us buy Tynah and his Wives who Dine with me every Day. I send the Boat regularly for them at Noon.

The Plants are coming on remarkably well. I still remain in an uneasy state in my head and cannot bear being exposed to the Sun, so that my Shore busyness I execute early in the Morning & towards Evening.
