Because that's the earliest he could get a land guy to unhook the boat from the place.
I think that he did it just to piss off some idiot Liberals.
Couldn’t stand the Smell of Europe
Privilege, obviously.
Christopher Columbus was a Bible-believing, soul-winning missionary and not interested in looking for gold. This is why he was returned to Spain in chains. The Cat’lics weren’t happy with him.
BOOKMARK
A very eye-opening article. Thanks.
They packed enough food to last Columbus and the crew a full year and stopped at the Canary Islands to onboard even more food (to replace what they ate up to that point).
Food was always on the minds of the sailors. The following is a list of staple food items that were carried on the ships:
The olive oil and olives were stored in earthenware jugs. The rest of the food was stored in wooden casks which could hold produce like meat preserved in brine, or dry goods. All were stored in the hold, the driest section of which was reserved for casks carrying dry provisions. A cooper (barrel maker) was responsible for keeping the casks tight. Problem was the casks with brine would leak, the casks with dry goods would let water in. It was easy to loose much of your food and water.
The food was mainly boiled and served in a large communal wooden bowl. The sailors had no forks or spoons, but each sailor carried an all purpose knife, that he could use to cut large chunks. The only means of cooking was an open firebox called "Fogon." It had a back to screen it from the wind. Sand was spread on the floor of the box and a wood fire built on it.
Fish was served more often than meat. Meats were usually prepared in a stew with peas other legumes or rice and served with sea biscuits which were soaked in the soup or in water to make them edible. Sea biscuits would last at least a year if they were kept dry.
Both wine and water for drinking were stored in wooden barrels.
Good info for the Muslims hate us because of the Crusades crowd.
xlnt post thanx
155? Everybody knows it’s 12 years!
I think we should also place this article in current context. The trade routes to the east were closed to Europe when the Muslims took Constantinople. Now look at Spain and the EU today demanding that Britain give up Gibraltar as part of Brexit.
On the present course Spain will be a Muslim country in 20-40 years. They will then control both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar and can shut off sea traffic at will. I guess in modern days, nobody needs to have ships go through there anymore?
Because he was a white nationalist.

Does anyone ever wonder folks in southern Italy, and along the medditerian coast, have Arab features????
A couple of interesting reads discussing history if anyone
cares to look at them.

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue
To represent the dove in Genesis 1:2.
The Age of Discovery:
The Spirit of Discovery is the Spirit of Revelation is the Spirit of Elohim, the spirit that hovered over the face of the waters as the form of a dove. Then God said, "Let there be light!
And guess what? There was light!
That's the very moment the light bulb went on. It's the simple meaning. Nobody wants the simple message because there goes the demand for all of the merchandise to explain the complicated.
Plain spoken Joan Rivers was the most famous Jewish comedienne of modern times, hands down. "Can we talk?"
Her death involved shady medical practice on her throat, the place where her plain words that had no mercy came out.
"Discover the unknown!"
As in, what really *is* the Age of Discovery? Age 5, the traditional age when the little ones leave home to attend school, kindergarten. Same age when kids are famous for being like Joan Rivers, blurting out truth at inconvenient times.
The Columbus song was written in order to teach children history. The adults, not so much. Otherwise they might have caught on that the End of Days information in the book of Daniel that was told is true, was spoken from the place of rivers. The place of truth. The mouth of rivers..

Spot on.
With the Moors (Muslims) expelled from Spain overland routes to the spice countries were too dangerous.
Ferdinand and Isabella sponsored the Italian adventurer first, to celebrate their victory; and, second, to ensure that spices were still available for Spaniards’ tables least the peasants revolt.
Actually, he had a ‘thing’ going on with Isabella and Ferdinand figured give him the money and he would sail off the end of the earth as some thought everything ended at the horizon.
So they filled the ship with convicts and derelicts and neer do wells to rid themselves of them also.
..Best laid plans etc etc etc
One word: money.
