Wayefuna futhi ukufakazela ukuthi izibalo zakhe zomhlaba zibalwa kanjani.
- Wayesekho ekubaleni kwakhe futhi akayitholanga umzila omusha we-spice. Kunalokho, ngo-Okthoba 12, 1492, yena nemikhumbi yakhe encane yemikhumbi emithathu, i-Niña, i-Pinta ne-Santa Maria, bafika kwesinye seziqhingi manje esibizwa ngokuthi iBahamas.
