Left Port Washington to try sails further.  [[red underline]] Improvised [[/red underline]] the main sail into a square sail. Thus running with this [[red underline]] jury square [[/red underline]] sail and foresail was able to run before wind without heaving to as was the case in the past. When setting the mizzen the old trouble of [[red underline]] too much weather helm [[/red underline]] started again. Dropt anchor before Abrahamsson's ship yard [[red underline]] Cold Spring Harbor [[/red underline]] in Cold Spring Bay.
June 29. Another hot day. Worked
