5 miners craft 10 picks.
10 colonists are trained as miners.
Under the command of setos the sailors, 8 fishermen and 27 other colonists contribute to the construction of nets at the beginning of the month and spend the rest of the month fishing out at sea, producing 87 food.
4 masons work the fish traps harvesting 9 food.
Realizing that hunting would be more effective than trying to grab fish off the beach with their bare hands, the rest of the colony sets itself to hunting with what weapons are available.
6 masons 3 archers, 2 acolytes and 14 guards, hunt with 10 bows and 10 spears in the forests to the west producing 34 food.
With the food crisis taken care of for now, the other colonists go about their typical work.
9 woodcutters cut 32 wood.
10 carpenters continue work on the docks.
10 miners dig ore from the mine and produce 20 copper ore and 4 tin ore.
Of the 9 ill colonists, 4 recover, but 1 succumbs and dies. The injured guard recovers.
Raset takes the scouts and a group of 5 miners to the southwest and into the swamps, crossing another stream, until they come to the edge of the island. on a group of small hills they find a large circle of stones overlooking a narrow sea channel separating this island from another. This area is littered with the bones of dead animals and Sobek as well as shattered weapons and shields. Mineralogically, this feature is mostly chalk and without any serious mineral worth.
As the month comes to a close, the chill in the air lifts and the frost and snow begins to melt. Spring has come early this year.
