We are sailing across this gulf looking for a suitable place to land. As always our purpose is to brig back to Spain great riches and to increase the wealth and power of the nation. We will continue to be the greatest empire on earth if we are successful. God guides us forward so that we can also spread his holy name. We have heard stories of the Natives living in walled cities with iron walls and who trade in copper and silver. We must take away these riches and bring them to our king. We are also discovering how large this land mass really is and making maps for voyages to come after us.
