October 1, 1492 This is killing me! Where is land? We have sailed for days and days, and there has beenno sight of land. We have had clear skies and steady winds, but my crew is angry andfighting. There is even talk of turning back. The crew has even threatened to push meoverboard and sail back to Spain. I am not letting that happen. I have gone too far to turn back now. Land must be near, I know. Crewmen have spotted branches in the waters andbirds that could not possibly go very far from land. From these signs I am sureland is near. October 7, 1492 I am growing impatient. There are more signs, but no land. According to my calculations, we should have spotted land many days ago. I have decided to offer a reward for any sailor that spots land. I only hope that thereward will buyme a few more days before the crew revolts.
