He wanted to find a new sea route west to India as the portugese were already going east and he wanted to prove that the world could be circumnavigated (sailed all the way around). He sailed for four-six week without reaching land and had to keep two logbooks to keep spirits up. Spotted land on 3rd of October 1492 and named the group of islands the west indies as he taught he was off the coast of India but in fact he was acctually at the Caribbean islands.he sank the Santa Maria and left back for Spain with 30 men (started with 90). He brought back valuables such as gold, pineapples, parrots and natives. Hope this was good enough.
