Question

The same day I went on board we set sail, standing away to the northward upon our own coast, with design to stretch over for the African coast when we came about ten or twelve degrees of northern latitude, which, it seems, was the manner of course in those days.

Accepted Answer

El mismo día que subí a bordo, zarpamos hacia el norte, siguiendo la costa rumbo a tierras africanas hasta los diez o doce grados de latitud norte, que era la ruta que, al parecer, se seguía en esos días.
