The Wind having shifted to the North West at 2 this morning, our proceeding farther up the River was rendered impracticable -- and therefore we ran down for Adventure [Bay] in Isle de Biune, where we anchored in 16 Fathom water within a quarter [of] a mile of the S.E. shore at 9 o'clock this morning. At 1 p.m. seeing no appearance of a change of wind, M^rs. M. and myself, accompanied by our Party -- and M^r. Overand went on shore to take a walk, and returned again on board at 1/ 2 past 3 p.m. with a Cask of Fresh Water from a fine Lagoon near the Beach, some grass for the sheep & goats, and a quantity of Muscles, [sic] with [which] the Rocks abound. ---The island is mountainous & woody but the Soil is bad.---
