"...Columbus called first at the Canary Islands, the westernmost Spanish possessions. He was delayed there for four weeks by calm winds and the need for repair and refit. Columbus left the island of Gomera on September 6, 1492, but calms again left him within sight of the western island of Hierro until September 8.
Columbus arrived at his Bahamas landfall on October 12, then proceeded to Cuba on October 28. While sailing north of Cuba on November 22, MartÃn Alonso Pinzón, captain of the Pinta, left the other two ships without permission and sailed on his own in search of an island called "Babeque," where he had been told by his native guides that there was much gold. Columbus continued with the Santa Maria and Niña eastward, and arrived at Hispaniola on December 5...."

In his first voyage to the Americas, on October 12 1492 he landed first in an island called Guanahani byt the natives. He named it San Salvador, and there is some confusion because people associate it with El Salvador, but apparently it is one of the Bahamas now.
