Fine pleasant weather. At M. made the Island from the Masthead, distance about 5 Leagues. At 3 P.M. abreast the N.E. end of the Island and one of the most beautiful prospects I ever saw. High land like one entire Garden interspersed with Gentleman's Houses and Windmills in a delightful manner. At 9 P.M. abreast Bridge Town, laid her to till morning.
