Comment:
1788-12-14T16:00: REFLEXION ACERCA DEL SISTEMA DE SONDA Y MARCACION QUE USAN QUE ES EL MISMO DE LORD MARLGRAVE. AL ELEVARSE EL SOL DESAPARECIO LA NIEBLA Y RECONOCEN LA COSTA DE LA ISLA DE LOS REYES HASTA MAS ALLA DE LA PUNTA QUE FORMA AL N LA ENTRADA DEL PUERTO DESEADO. DESCRIBE LAS AVES, PECES Y ANIMALES, ASI COMO LA COSTA QUE DIVISAN. SE LES ACERCA 1 BOTE CON 7 HOMBRES QUE LES INDICAN QUE PERTENECIAN A 1 BERGANTIN INGLES CUYO CAPITAN LOS DEJO EN AQUELLAS REGIONES DESIERTAS CON ALGUNOS VIVERES Y LA ESPERANZA DE QUE A LOS 8 MESES VOLVERIA POR ELLOS. LOS INDIOS QUE HACIAN ALGUNAS INCURSIONES DE LO INTERIOR DEL CONTINENTE EMPEZARON A PERSEGUIRLOS, HICIERON PRISIONERO AL PILOTO QUE PUDO RESCATARSE CON UNA ESCASA CANTIDAD DE AGUARDIENTE Y A OTRO DESGRACIADO QUE NATURALMENTE PERECERA O HABIA PERECIDO ENTRE AQUELLOS HOMBRES INHUMANOS. EL RESTO SE ACOGIO A UNA LANCHA EN LA PLAYA DONDE ESTABLECIO SU HABITACION Y PASO EL ULTIMO INVIERNO. CORRIAN LA TIERRA POR LA RIBERA OCUPANDOSE EN MATAR LOBOS TENIENDO YA UN ACOPIO DE 12000 PIELES Y CON EL Y 50 PIPAS DE GRASAS ESPERABAN A SU CAPITAN PERO EL PLAZO QUE LES HABIA SEÑALADO ESTABA CUMPLIDO, DISMINUIDOS LOS VIVERES Y EN ESTAS INFELICES CIRCUNSTANCIAS DETERMINARON PREPARAR LA LANCHA ECHANDOSE AL MAR Y BUSCAR EL PRIMER ESTABLECIMIENTO DE EUROPEOS PREFIRIENDO UNA ESPERANZA INCIERTA A UNA MUERTE SEGURA. EL COMANDANTE LOS ACOGIO CON BENIGNIDAD, SE DETUVO Y REMITIO LOS BOTES PARA SUS EQUIPAJES Y UN MUCHACHO QUE HABIA QUEDADO CON ELLOS DEJANDO EN UN BARRIL Y PARAJE VISIBLE NOTICIA DEL DESTINO DE ESTOS HOMBRES Y EN ELLA UN TESTIMONIO AL CAPITAN INGLES Y A SU NACION DEL MODO COMO LOS ESPAÑOLES DESEMPEÑAN LOS DEBERES DE LA HOSPITALIDAD. MEDICION Y DATOS DEL MEDIODIA O DE LA SINGLADURA, MUCHAS VECES LOS DESCRIPTORES SON DEL AMANECER

It is not clear from many logbook entries whether the wind direction has been corrected for the magnetic variation (or declination). To avoid any misunderstanding, all winds from reports that included a valid position in the period 1750-1854 were corrected. All other wind directions are given without being corrected. | ||

| 16 | Declination | Decl | deg | It is generally accepted by the CLIWOC team that the wind directions, reported by the ships officers, were relative to the magnetic North direction. Navigators were well aware of the difference between the true and magnetic north direction, but the compasses (we assumed that the bearing-compasses were mostly used for determining the wind direction) were not always adjusted. Therefore the wind direction has to be corrected. The magnetic declination (or variation, as it is known on board ships) is given for the whole CLIWOC period (1750-1850) for every 5x5 degree square. The number was added to the wind direction to get the true wind direction. | ||
