Entry Number One...
I’m beginning my journey along with the rest of the crew members under the instructions of explorer Vasco da Gama along with three other ships (Sao Gabriel, Sao Rafael, Berrio and the Starship.) Its July 8, 1497, were sailing from Lisbon Portugal and bearing east, our ships are stocked with precious stones, species, and pearls for trading and for the crew we have our essential food, clothing, and hygiene products. It’s a good day to be heading out; the sea is smooth as glass and outside it feels a comfortable temperature of 65 degrees. Our trip may seem impossible because it’s quoted as saying that the Indian Ocean (in which were traveling) does not connect to any other seas, but were staying close a reasonable distance to the African border and are determined to return home with new findings.
