Dear Diary, August 10th, 1804
Captain John believes very strongly, as do I, about recording what we experience, see, and explore on our voyage. He will be providing each crew member a journal in which we will write entries, draw maps, record recipes, wildlife, and many more things. My mess and I will be using our virtual laptops on this trip for writing in. The laptops are our personal portable desks. They hold all of our paper, feathers, inkwells, ink, candles, matches, and pictures in an organized fashion. The captain will expect us to be very critical about what we write, and record as much as we can, for he wants the information about our voyage to be kept for a long period of time.
Beautifully written description of our journal process. Would love to see a picture of your portable desks . . . .
