The sea

The photos here reflect the power of the sea.
Wish I had tekn them, but I'ms not sure I would stand and take those
photos if I was there.

Martha! I told you to wait until the tide goes out before flushing the toilet!

Interesting.

I don't believe I would enjoy a leisurely cruise on the family yacht in
those waters at the height of a storm.

Columbus encountered and survived these shores, off the coast of
Spain/Portugal, in these conditions, when he returned from his first
voyage of discovery. Irrespective of whatever else he was, he was a
master sailor.

I always thought he got lost and 'found' the americas by accident.
But then again they didn;t have GPS in those days.

He had already been there by the Norse route (up north).

He found america but thought it was the 'the Indies' (asia) and that's why he called the natives indians.

There good grounds for suspecting that he knew that what he had found
was not the Indies but that he had fudged the arithmetic so as to
retain the goodwill (and the money) of the King and Queen.

There also are grounds for suspecting that even on that southern route
the Portuguese had been there before him.

He found a hidden stash of previously undiscovered photographs.

The myth of Columbus was that he discovered "America". He did no such
thing. In each of the Columbus voyages of discovery he never stepped
foot on the North American mainland. He did make it to Central America
& the South American coast, but never North America.

If anything the 15th Century credit for discovery & exploration of
North America (earlier exploration and settlement by Ericksen & various
Viking settlements not withstanding) should go to that other Italian
working for a royal financier, John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto). Cabot was
commissioned by Henry VII of England.

It seems the mercenary explorers of the 15th Century were principally
Italian, mainly Genovese & Venetian.
