"In Late 1481 Or Early 1482 Columbus Sailed To The Portuguese Fortress Of Elmina, In What Is Now Ghana, On The Western Coast Of Africa. Columbus Was Impressed With The Riches Africa Offered, Especially Gold. In Addition, Like All Good Navigators, He Was Eager To Learn About Winds And Ocean Currents From The Local Pilots And Sailors. In The Waters Off The Coast Of Africa And The Nearby Canary Islands Columbus First Observed The Ocean Phenomenon Known As The Canaries Current. Knowledge Of This Fast-Moving Current Running West Of The Canary Islands Could Well Have Been The Reason That Columbus Later Chose To Start His Crossing Of The Atlantic In The Latitude Of The Canaries, Far South Of Spain Or Portugal.
