Episode Details

Drift into peaceful sleep with this relaxing sleep story from The Sleep Retreat. In this episode, we continue reading The Journal of the First Voyage of Columbus, covering entries from February 15 through March 15, 1493. Columbus documents his departure from Española, navigation through challenging seas, and eventual approach toward Europe. The reading concludes with two significant letters: one to Luis de Santángel, the treasurer of Aragon, and another to Ferdinand and Isabella, discussing colonization and trade prospects in the New World.
