Check out his map (and link) showing the Sargasso Sea, which Columbus sailed through. See those islands near Africa? Those are the Canaries (named after the dogs which used to be found there), which was the point of departure across the Atlantic both for Columbus and (more or less) for Thor Heyerdahl.

Off topic, a bit, but why in the world did they draw that 3-d map with the cutout like they did? I'm thinking they sailed off the end of the world. . .
