At 7 o'clock this
morning the Eagle sailed and passed Sandy Hook and the rest of the Fleet
followed in two Divisions. Wind a fresh breeze at N. N. West by 10 o'clock. The
whole of the Fleet got to sea, in the Afternoon the wind headed. Light wind
most part of this night. As soon as the fleet made a good offing they shaped
their course South Westerly. Parted with the coast nearly but before we were
out of sight of the land.
