With strong southerly winds, ships of large size do not often leave Rio de Janeiro - coasting vessels never - therefore few persons could have experienced its effect when sailing from the port; and when approaching Rio in similar weather, vessels sail before a fair wind

At the age of 23, FitzRoy thus became captain of a ten-gun brig engaged on 'an accurate survey' of the southern
