Feb. 27 & 28th 
Feb. 27 This am. Continued the bad weather of yesterday; started in overcast, high winds, white caps - and though the sun came out around noon - its a pretty place hereabouts off [[strikethrough]] Potter Cove [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] Collins Hbr. [[/insertion]] the wind seemed to increase in force the highest today 45 knots (^ [[insertion]] sea [[/insertion]] miles per hour) This is close to running your auto at 52 or 53 (land) miles per hour. Well its just a bit too strong (and waves too violent) to safely launch the boats from the ship and then were you to get them into the water to land on unknown untried beaches.
