荒海の向こうに南米大陸が・・・/The first glimpse of the South America Continent beyond the rough sea
モンテビデオの街が蜃気楼のように前方に/The City of Montevideo ahead like a mirage
船は南米大陸にだいぶ近づき、朝には、ウルガイ南東60km沖、西経53度21分を航行。ラプラタ川が近いので水深は35m。西からの低気圧のせいで西から20mの風。外気温は14℃。
17:30 ラプラタ川パイロット乗船。ラプラタ川をブエノスアイレスまで遡上。
The ship approached the South American Continent, 60 km off Uruguay, this morning.
The sea is only 35m deep for the mouth of the La Plata is close. The wind was 20 m from the west due to the low pressure.
The La Plata pilots came on board at 17:30 to guide us up to Buenos Aires.
