A successful voyage!
I am on my home from my second voyage. I would say it was rather successful. My crew and I sailed on a course which took us south. We got to the coast of Brazil and that is where we found success! We found a lot of tropical lumber which is a good sign because I believe that if I continue to set out on these journeys and the results are good like the past voyages I will be sailing for a long time. I would have only imagined that I could ever be this successful. I must go because the ride is getting a little bumpy and my crew seems to be getting a little restless so good bye for now.
My Last Voyage?
It is spring time and the year is 1527! I have been so successful in my life time and I can only be thankful. I used to dream about the day that I would be sailing from place to place, as my job! Although I have been very lucky the one place that I have always wanted to sail to was the America’s. It has been a goal of mine and I figured if I went on one or two successful journeys that I would automatically be sailing to the America’s but I guess I was mistaken. Oh well, I cannot complain. I love what I do and I am thrilled that I have had the chance to sail the world!
The America's!
I cannot believe my luck! I have never been happier in my life! Today was the day that I was told that I will be sailing to the America’s! Not only will I get to sail to the America’s but my brother Girolamo will be accompanying me! I am so happy words cannot even describe the way I feel right now! My brother and I plan to sail to the America’s and establish land. We have always been happy when we are assigned a voyage but this one means so much to us! The fact that we can do this together makes it all the much better! I must go plan for this wonderful voyage, but trust me I will write again when I come home! So long for now, wish me luck!
The Last Entry
Hello everyone, this is Girolamo, I know my brother would have wanted me to do this. Although most of our voyage was successful, we had our downfall. On the plus side my brother and I established and named places after famous Europeans in a place we like to call North America. But like I said we had our downfall, my brother was killed by the natives. Not only was he killed but he was also eaten. It was the most horrible thing I have ever witnessed in my life. I knew that he would have wanted me to finish what we had started so that is why I am writing this. That is all I am going to write for now so I suppose this is goodbye.
