October 13th 1542- Storms
Cabrillo has been leading the ship north in search of better luck for a week now. So far he has discovered yet another bay as we travel within a decent distance of the coast of San Miguel. He is determined to continue leading the ships up north in determination of finding riches or a connection. Unfortunately however, the journey is being sidetracked by harsh weather building up through these waters. The strong winds and vicious waves are making steering and directing a difficulty. And also, the storms and water is making navigating virtually impossible. Cabrillo has experienced many points of disorientation where he is unsure where we are heading. However,after a few days of persisting on pushing through the storm until it wanes, Cabrillo has finally decided the weather is too much Because of these extreme and difficult problems, Cabrillo has reluctantly decided to turn the ship around and away from the horrible weather. He spotted some islands not so far back that he hopes will be promising and bring success. Keep checking The Journey of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo for more updates on Cabrillo's search for discovery!
This is a map of Cabrillo's progress he has reached so far in his journey.
