    I, Christopher Columbus, am sailing the ocean blue in 1492 in search of a route to india in order to trade spices. I quickly made a port in the canary islans for a final restocking and left there on September 6th, 1492. I was in command of three ships, The Pinta, the Santa María, and the Santa Marina. EvenThough I was in overall command, the Pinta was captained by Martín Alonso Pinzón and the Niña by Vicente Yañez Pinzón.

    Getting ready

    As we're getting prepared to head back this time ive gotten 17 ships and over a 1000 men to join me and help me on my journey. We've made it back from our first journey and we have found land. Although it was just uncharted china. With that we had also lost one of our ships and we did not bring back gold or any othe valuable items we're going back to try again.
