| The jib is set | A much deserved swim by a number of the crew | Now hall away | Hall away |
 |

 |
| Hall away all | Setting the brails | That is a lot of sail | A rough night's sail brings us to Erie on September 6th |

| Enough of this lounging around | Command is given to cast off making for Cleveland | Hands to make sail | Hall away on the stays! |
 |

 |
| Ease away on the downhall | Sheet her home now | FGW first takes wing | Cleveland after another rough night |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| So that's what a turk's head mat looks like | It's a good laugh | Renee, Jim, Chris C., Tracy, and Dan must leave | Cleveland is left behind |
