However, though my little periagua was finished, yet the size of it was not at all answerable to the design which I had in view when I made the first; I mean of venturing over to the _terra firma_, where it was above forty miles broad; accordingly, the smallness of my boat assisted to put an end to that design, and now I thought no more of it.
A kis pirog, mérete alapján, nem egészen felelt meg azoknak az elvárásoknak, amelyeket az elsővel szemben támasztottam. Akkor még egy nagyjából 80 km-es út megtételét terveztem, amellyel elérem a kontinenst.
