Entry by Lt. Juan Manuel de Ayala


September 18, 1775       
        On the fifth of August, the crew of the San Carlos came across a cove that we found of an island in a bay off the Pacific Ocean. It seemed to be one of the only suitable harbors to keep the San Carlos in. The island did not seem to have any inhabitants except for a local indian tribe who uses the land for hunting and fishing. Since I seemed to be the first civilized person to discover this natural harbor, I rightfully named it Ayala Cove. Today is the day we set sail for the seas again, but during our stay here, we were able to map most of the island and explore a few of the other islands in the bay, such as Alcatraz which the crew and I also discovered.
