Bounty Logbook Remarks, Dec. 3, 1787

At Spithead Wind bound

Monday, Dec. 3, 1787

The Weather continued the same for most part of this day, but turned more Moderate towards the latter part. At 2 P.M. came to Anchor and Moored in 5 fathoms the Kicker NNW½N and South Sea Castle EBS. I waited on Rear Admiral Sir Francis Samuel Drake and presented to him a Journal of my proceedings, and from thence took the Time Keeper to Mr. Bayley's at the Observatory to get its rate more Accurately determined. In the Morning I gave the Necessary Orders to complete up our Victualling and to be ready for the first favorable Wind.
