…The preparations for the voyage were made with the cooperation of the three Pinson brothers, and on August 3 of that year, the three ships, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña, with 120 crew members, set off from the port of Palos on their long-awaited voyage. After anchoring at the Canary Islands, on September 6, they left La Gomera and sailed westward along the 28th parallel, overcoming their first experience of magnetic deviation and the anxiety of the Sargasso Sea, and on October 12, they arrived at an island in the Bahamas called Guanahani (now Watling Island).

…航海の準備はピンソン3兄弟の協力を得て進められ，同年8月3日，サンタ･マリア号，ピンタ号，ニーニャ号の3隻に120名の乗組員を乗せて，パロスの港から念願の航海に出発した。カナリア諸島に停泊したのち，9月6日，ゴメラ島を離れ，ほぼ北緯28゜線上を一路西へと航行，初めて経験する磁針偏差やサルガッソー海の不安を克服して，10月12日，グアナハニと呼ばれたバハマ諸島中の一島(現，ワットリング島)に到着した。　この島はゴメラ島から計算して1128リーグの地点にあり，この数字はまさしくコロンブスが予定していた数字でもあった。…
