March 1, 1820 – no entry. (Thaddeus Journal)
March 1. 10 deg. 17 m. S Lat. 106 deg. 47 m W Long. It is a month to day since we were at Cape Horn. Since then, I do not recollect as we have had more than 24 hours of contrary winds. The weather is very warm but we keep comfortable in the air on deck with the sails spread for a canopy. The sun will soon be vertical. My health has been very good most of the time since I left you. But a sudden change from a cold region to one extremely warm, seems in a measure to affect it. For a few days past, I’ve been afflicted with a severe pain in my head, but today at much better.
