May 18, 1497We set out from Bristol today. I’m lucky to have this job. An orphaned girl, only 13 years old doesn’t get a job on a boat often. Of course, they don’t know I’m a girl. I’m not proud of dressing like a boy but it was the only way I could be this on voyage.

Harsh weather today. Rough seas. Some of the crew got seasick, not me. We’d be lost if it weren’t for the compass. I don’t know how it works, but the crew says it’s an invention that will change the world.

Stormy today. 3 crew members were lost. Some men have refused to come out of their cabins. I’ve seen Captain Cabot pacing his cabin. He’s worried. Funding from the king is important, we have to find something.

Captain John Cabot has requested to see me in his cabin. I’m scared I’ve been discovered. Maybe he’ll toss me into the sea. Girls aren’t allowed on boats. It’s considered bad luck. Nonsense if you ask me.

Captain Cabot hasn’t found me out. He said that I’m a good sailor. He told me that I was welcome on his next voyages. I thanked him and told him I wanted to sail more. He just sent me away.
