A day in a life as Jacques Cartier

Dear friends and family

Hi, I'm sailing the seas trying to find a route to China and to find gold and riches. Along the way i have to deal with cold weather that am not use to. I met a guy called Chief Donnacana of a First Nations tribe. He didn't like me because he thought I was here to take his land. Rough water because the waves were almost to strong for the boat. I didn't know where China was. I thought China was closer then it really is. Most of my crew was sick or died because of scurvey because the lack of vitamin C. I was unsuccessful on all of my voyages. I didn't go on any more voyages for the king of French

love
Jacques Cartier
