Just as I had set my mast and sail, and the boat began to stretch away, I saw even by the clearness of the water some alteration of the current was near; for where the current was so strong the water was foul; but perceiving the water clear, I found the current abate; and presently I found to the east, at about half a mile, a breach of the sea upon some rocks: these rocks I found caused the current to part again, and as the main stress of it ran away more southerly, leaving the rocks to the north-east, so the other returned by the repulse of the rocks, and made a strong eddy, which ran back again to the north-west, with a very sharp stream.
Kelet felé, közel egy kilométerre innen egy szikla hullámtörést keltett. Mint kiderült, ez a szikla újra kettéválasztotta az áramlatot, és amíg a nagyobb része tovább haladt dél felé, egy kisebb ága örvényszerűen megkerülte a sziklát és nagy lendülettel északnyugat felé vette az irányt.
