1:00 pm Fair and pleasant Weather. Having now only One Small Cask of Malt remaining, and being so near a Port of Supplies of all kinds, I stopt serving Sweet Wort in preference to opening it, as what I could not use between this and Otaheite would be rendered good for nothing.

8:00 pm Very Cloudy.

10:00 pm Out Reefs and set Top Gallant & Topmast Steering Sails.
