Summary

We departed from Colmogro about 10 of the clocke afore noone in a Lodia or Barke, which we hired to bring vs along the coast to a place called Soroka & in the said barke we hired 6 mariners and a boy to conduct vs to the place before rehearsed.

The Lodia or barke was of the burden of 25. tunnes or thereabout, wherewith wee valed downe the riuer of Dwina, the wind being then calme, vnto a monasterie called S. Michael, where we were constrained to anker, because of a contrary wind which there met vs.

From Colmogro to this monasterie are 50 versts or miles of Russia, at which place we taried till the 21. day in the morning, and then hauing the wind somewhat faire, we set saile and departed thence.

21. We departed from the monasterie of S. Michael, hauing the wind somewhat faire, and arriued at Rose Island, over and against the monasterie of S. Nicholas, the 22. day at 2. of the clocke in the morning, which is 35 miles distant from the monasterie of S. Michael. By reason of contrary wind and tide we were constrained to tarie there all that day.
