jarthurian: would you really expect columbus  - someone who had heavily "borrowed" from sefardic nautical records how to attempt the indian voyage,  to leave behind any veraciuos record of how he did get there ???? Fully undersatnd your findings. Have read before   -gimme some time to recollect-  the same comment made by mariners in sapin who did not make had or tails of his  1st voyage vademecum. louis vintro ps : first class observations anyway....

Louis, yes, there were many mariners who couldn't make head or tails of the 1st voyage journal - that is still recognized by many today although most think it is simply ineptitude on the part of Columbus. I think this, the inability to reproduce the route of the journal, was what caused much of the controversy before 1892.
