1:00 pm Fresh Breezes & a fine pleasant Trade but exceedingly hazy. I altered my Course to the Westward because I was within the limits of St. Iago [Santiago, Cape Verde Islands] but the evening continued so hazy could only see the looming of it at Sun Down. I did not choose to loose my time & therefore at 6 o'clock I again Steered to the South'd so as to make all Sails and make the most of a fine Wind.
