Summary
On Saturday, the five and twentieth of March, 1609, after the old account, we set sayle from Amsterdam, and by the seven and twentieth day, we were downe at the Texel: and by twelve of the clocke we were off the land, it being east of us two leagues off. And because it is a journey usually knowne, I omit to put downe what passed till we came to the height of the North Cape of Finmarke, which we did performe by the fift of May (stilo novo), being Tuesday. On which day we observed the height of the pole, and found it to bee 71 degrees, and 46 minutes; and found our compasse to vary six degrees to the west; and at twelve of the clocke, the North Cape did beare south-west and by south tenne leagues off, and wee steered away east and by south and east.
After much trouble, with fogges sometimes, and more dangerous of ice. The nineteenth, being Tuesday, was close stormie weather, with much wind and snow, and very cold: the wind variable betweene the north north-west and northeast. We made our way west and by north till noone. Then we observed the sunne having a slake, and found our heigth to bee 70 degrees, 30 minutes.
