weather in the euening they had a calme then the Generall cast ancker vnder Swartnes which done all the nauy did the like The 30. of May hauing hoysed anker they set sayle with a North Northwest wind keeping vpon the coast of England and about twelue of the clock they passed Beueside the wind being East Northeast they holding their course West Southwest being close weather which caused the Generall to sayle Westward the better to haue the coast of Englād in sight but all the day continued close weather yet in the euening they had a sight of Goutstaert and so sayling til night they ankered not farre from Plimmouth The 1. of Iune early in the morning making towards land about sixe of the clocke they arriued at Plimmouth where the Generall sent a Pinace to land to know if any of their ships had arriued there because certaine of them had sailed out of the Tassel not long before which they thought to haue found at Plimmouth but not finding any about noone they set saile departed holding their course South Southwest about euening hauing a side wind they sailed West Southwest with such darke close weather that they could hardly see the lēgth of a ship from them which caused them sometimes to shoot off muskets somtimes slings to let the other ships know that they were not farre frō thē that they should not separate thēselues The 2. of Iune hauing a calme with close weather they met al together and holding their course South southwest hauing the wind East Northeast The 3. of Iune still hauing an East Northeast wind they sailed very slowly sometimes on the lee sometimes in the wind to stay for certaine of their ships that were somewhat behind and in the end being all together the Generall held his course South south-southwest all the Nauy following him in the night hauing a Southwest wind The 4. of Iune the General put forth 2. flags shot off two peeces for a signe to call all the Captaines Masters to come aboord of his ship there to hold a Marshall assembly which was presently performed each of them putting foorth their boates to boord him hauing as then past Heyssant about ten miles with a Southwest wind running South southeast and in the euening hauing a Southeast wind all the Nauy held their course South southwest The 5. 6. of Iune it was calme with great clappes of thunder sailing then vnder 47. degrees The 7. of Iune they had a West wind whereupō the whole Nauy set their course South southwest after that the wind cōming North they sailed Southwest yet very slowly by reasō that some of the ships were so far behind that they could hardly be discerned whereupon the rest of the ships staied for thē at the same time the Generall made an order for the diuisiō of their meat euery 6. men to haue amōg thē 5. li. of bisquit for a day The 8. of Iune still hauing a West wind they held their course South southwest and about euening the wind falling somewhat sharpe the whole Nauy woond about then the wind cōming West againe they were constrained to abate some of their sayles The ninth of Iune they espied the coast of Galisia as then hauing a North-west wind holding their course South-west and about three of the clocke in the after noone the whole nauie hauing turned about made to sea-ward not lōg after they made towards the land again but being too low from La Corougie the General caused the whole Nauie to put to sea again The tenth of Iune the Nauie sailing again towards the land they had a South-west wind and in the euening a Northwest wind wherwith they sayled west being not far from the land The eleuenth of Iune earlie in the morning the whole Nauie making towards the shore being vnder the land perceiuing themselues to be as high as the Corougie they set their course West South-west the wind being East

shot vpon them so mightily although they could not reach them and the shippes by reason of the calme not well to be stered that they had much paine and labour to hold them from the land and the towne
