It has been about four days since we have left the Sandwich Islands, otherwise known as Hawaii. Every day has been very nice, with the sun shining down on the sea and the smell of the ocean water. My crew and I have been suffering from absolute monotony, as we continue our voyage towards San Francisco. The Japanese on the Kanrin Maru must be having a very nice time in San Francisco, as I've heard several things about the city. We expect to reach the ports of San Francisco by the 29th, and in the meantime, we will continue our daily routine of boredom.
I hope all goes as planned
