In the morninge the wind at south east verie faire sune shininge weather untill night and calme. This morninge we departed out of Mount Eagle Baye coastinge towards the bottom of Trinitie Baye. [We] passed by [the] island off the south side. Rowing all the day with our pennice and towing her with our shallop, aboute 3 or 4 of the Clocke we entered with our Barke [Indeavour] in a sound some 4 myles and Right off the north side before the harbour's mouth [were] 3 fine Islands which will make the place a good harbour. This night we ankered in this sound. This night verie faire weather, the wind at west untill morning, a little raine.

Guy's entry for this date.

The sound into which the Indeavour sailed on October 24, 1612 was Dildo Arm. She anchored at the bottom of the arm where the town of South Dildo stands today. The colonists named the arm Savage Bay and the place where they anchored Savage Harbour. To view a panorama of Dildo Arm taken by William Gilbert in January 2005 click Here.
