In the vast sea of human appears to be so thin, small and even some despair. In this way, they are to the west, and then to the west, a drifting day after day, week and the week. A month later, sailing into the Atlantic Ocean Hinterland. Some sailors started running out of patience, and secretly in private discussions but also the number of sailing days to reach land.
In order to reduce the crew to leave as a result of land too far and generated fear, he secretly also adjust the way tools, daily reporting of some of the navigation mileage. Nevertheless, the hard nearly 2 months later, still can not see the shadow of the land, and then 2 months in Europe at that time was considered to be human time limit navigation. Hucha face and clothes were also Baptist sweat, sea water and the crew began to form a board of the public complained, saying that the voyage was a stupid navigation.
2 months and 6 days after the near collapse of the crew that will continue to incite defection westbound rebellion. After heated debate, he proposed to the crew: go 3 days, 3 days if the land can not see, the fleet on the back.

In fact, the Europeans, no matter which boat has been sailing to the west, this will be found. But before Columbus, Europeans in the Atlantic Ocean to the west, sailing, the longest period of 2 months, Columbus sailing the more than 9 days. The 24-year-old was only the fact that young people use to tell future generations: the fate of the ship sailing in the unknown lost, on the other side is not important how far away from us, but we have not reached the other side of the determination of the courage and wisdom.
