To sayl into Stokes-Bay.
If you go into Stokes-bay, you must leave South-Sea-Castle on Hyant-Wood, or the Wood to the North∣eastward of Portsmouth, and then steer in with the Old Castle that is to the eastward of Stokes-bay, keep∣ing it somewhat on the Starboard-side, and so bear in till you bring the Windmill on Porch-down, half a Sayls breadth to the westwards of the White Cliff, and so you may anchor in the best of the Bay in seven or eight fathom.
Also you may go up to the Cows; if you steer with it, keep the Island side, and anchor with the Castle South-west from you, the fourth part of a mile from the Shore; also you may steer down W. S. W. with Yarmouth-Fore, and anchor S. S. W. from it, half a mile off the Shore in seven fathom. The deep∣est Water between the Cows and Stokes-bay, is fifteen or sixteen fathom, and between the Cows and Hurst-Castle fifteen and eighteen fathom.
Also you may anchor with Hurst-Castle South-west by West,
half a mile from the Shore, in eight or nine fathom; or W.S.W. it being all good ground.
