Sunday, July 11, 1915

Slept until 6:30 this morning - I had had a fine night, cool enuf for a sound sleep but not too cool for light pajamas. The morning is fine - a good breeze is blowing off the port bow. We have passed San Salvador, where Columbus landed, Crooked Island and Fortune island [Bahamas], Aklins Island, Castle Island and the Mira por vos Islands[Cays]. From 10 until 12 I was at the wheel. It was great to fell the big ship swing with the wheel. Wrote letters all afternoon. We sighted Cape Maysi[Maisí]light about 8 o'clock (Oce 17) rounded the eastern end of Cuba and steered west guided by lights on the shore. I was on the dog house, a fine cool breeze was blowing when I fell asleep.
