22th of June, 1587. Island of Santa Cruz.

After two months at sea, the ships finally dropped their anchors at the Island of Santa Cruz. Together with the rest of the men, women, and children on board, you were delighted to finally set foot on land again. The deep blue sea surrounding the island was a beautiful sight to behold, and held all kinds of fish. You saw a turtle, which you had never seen before. You drew a picture of the creature in your journal. There was fruit growing on the island we had never seen before. After eating a small fruit, that looked like a green apple, some of our company was fearefully troubled with a sudden burning in their mouthes, and swelling of their tongues so bigge, that some of them could not speake. These symptoms luckily went away after one day, but it was a reminder to all that we were not in England anymore. The 25th of June we continued our journey at sea. [option] On we went. ->file 1.3
