In False Bay Cape of Good Hope

Monday, May 26, 1788

Light Breezes & Calms with some small Rain at times. A.M. I directed that the Mizen Mast should be raised out of the Step &s; two feet cut off it, as it is too taut & Strains the Ship about the Quarters and it was done and the Rigging repaired and fitted. Loosed Sails to dry. Anchored the Beverwik Dutch East Indiaman from Holland, left the Downs the last day of January.

Found the Bread in the Bread Room damaged which I ordered to be got up & examined into. Received fresh Meat, Soft Bread, Cabbages & Cellery with Onions & Leeks & Wine. Took the Time Keeper on Shore.
