Cassi tries to fit everything they've gathered so far from asking questions and reading the journal in with what she knows of the history of expeditions the islands well south of mainland. Perhaps there was a clue there. She thought there would be, at any rate.
To the best of Cassi's recollection (and apparently, her recollection is quite GOOD!), the events in the journal roughly reflect what would have been the first "discovery" of the Isle of Dread in modern times. Cassi seems to recall that Thyatian merchants and other sailors probably sailed in that direction at one time, but they do not refer to any place as "The Isle of Dread".
What Cassi knows for certain is that Rory Barbarossa was/is a real person and was the navigator aboard a ship known as the Lussiter that sailed for many years under Captain Max Roundbottom. Cassi also knows that Roundbottom's first mate was a half-orc named Grunder the Axe. Cassi does not know the fate of any of these people and whether they're still alive or not.
Many ships and sailors claim to have visited the Isle of Dread and many claim to have been there first. Almost any credible account of the Isle of Dread generally matches the physical description and location given in the journal you found.
Without a map, or someone with navigation skills who's actually BEEN to the island, finding it will be a steep challenge. "South" is a pretty large area to cover.
