July 20, 1500

This is now the second time we have seen land since that terrible storm. Along the Cape of Good Hope, we ran into another storm. It was even worse than the first storm, and I believe I lost four ships. And just to make my day, I've lost Bartolomeu Dias. I hope we don't encounter anymore storms, for my men are scared and hungry. I've assured them that we'll be fine, but they keep looking back for one of the lost ships, hopefully Bartolomeu's, and even I've started searching the horizon. But no luck.
