Leading up to Dungness in December 1652

Jan Evertsen's journal, as transcribed and translated in The First Dutch War, Vol.III, is interesting to me. I have copies of the original, in handwritten Dutch, to compare with points that seem to possibly be wrong, such as the list of captains at C.T. Atkinson had misread (he read "Hermes Mumincx", instead of the correct "Herman Munnick"). Jan Evertsen's journal is a convenient way to know the days of the week that corresponded to dates. Jan Evertsen also gives the wind direction:
