The day is one of the first with a very light wind.
We got away at nine and are slowly drifting down the
Humber with the tides.
As we get down several miles we get a good
breeze and the Vistula moves along nicely. At
Medoms Point one man goes ashore to get a barrel
of gasoline in the dog.
A little later the wind is nearly head on
and we make many tacks to reach Brody
Island. We arrive here at 3.30 P.M. and conclude
to lie inside of the island for the night as the ones
outside in the Bull would not be able to go out
and then it would die down during the night or
that one night we would lie in the trough
of the sea rolling about. Tomorrow or morning
we will make another start.
At 3.30 P.M. we go ashore of Brody Island
to see the geology of this island. Returned to
the Vistula at 7 P.M.
