Went along the shore taking observations of everything until I reached the Robbeberg. Returned across Cornelis Botha’s farm, Pisang River, in two hours on horseback, heading north-north-west, to Kretsinger’s,

The whole day heavy, thundery weather from the north with rain now and then.
Thermometer: 70-90-80.
