13th No wind we are all getting about discouraged we have now been
5 days confined in this Harbor I caught 2 skates the first
I ever saw. we beat out of the Harbor 3 times during the
night wind would die away & we would flote back again
into the Harbor so in the morning we found our selves in
the same place we started from The capt was discouraged
& went to bed A light breeze arose & we labored hard & got
out we then got a Breeze from the south west & left the
Harbor for good whare we had been confined for a week
we had a good run through the day & entered Macbias port
at 1 oclok at night 60 mils
