Columbus Ship Journey
August - September

Today we started out at 8 a.m. on our journey. I am traveling on the Nina, and Columbus is the captain on my boat. As we are traveling farther and farther, people aren't having much faith. Everyone is losing their faith. I am trying to stay believing because I believe that God has a plan for us and he has control. Every day it gets harder to keep my faith, but I am hanging on. It’s really hard with everyone around me having such a bad attitude. I have been more to myself and not really hanging around people because I don’t want to have their bad attitude.
It has been really hard to keep my faith in this voyage. The crew members and I have all become restive. Some people are becoming sea sick also. It is becoming very hard, but I know we will eventually find land. Today we saw some weed, so that is a sure sign of land. I sure praised the Lord!

I haven’t been spending much time on the deck, because of all the people complaining, so I didn’t know that we were finding more and more signs of land. It is a great day. Columbus said that people call this island Guanahani. Columbus and I get along very well. He has helped me keep my faith during this journey. We both decided that we want to be as friendly as possible to this people because we might be able to make the Christians. Today the Pinta boat had took off unexpectedly. I don’t really know why Pinzon sailed it away, there wasn’t any bad weather or

    As we all stood in line to aboard our supplies for a hazardous exploration mission, you could feel the despair in the atmosphere. The thought of going into unknown territory away from your love ones, with the threat of unknown new diseases, however there were those men that looked at this as a new start and a way to make history. Although there were rumors that Columbus had no entirely told the truth about are objective. Columbus thought that by sailing west he would find a quicker and easier route to the East.

    Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in the republic of Genoa, Italy. Christopher Columbus sought to find a way to the Indies to find gold and spice.

    "How would western civilization be different if Christopher Columbus<br>had not discovered America?"<br><br>Many circumstances led to Christopher Columbus' discovery of America in 1492.

    Columbus was only doing what any other person under the ruling of a king and queen would have done back then, to serve and please them in any way possible. He wanted to show himself to his king in queen. Christopher of course is known for discovering America, but on the way there he did things that are frowned upon now.
