Anchors


Giamaica, 1503
Avevo deciso di discostarmi dalla rotta in modo da evitare le numerosissime isole e da non incagliarmi sui loro banchi di sabbia.
Ma il mare infuriato ebbe la meglio, e dovemmo tornare indietro con tutte le vele perdute.
Gettamo l'ancora in vista di un'isola, ma vi lasciai tre ancore in una sola volta...
Fu allora che l'altro vascello ruppe gli ormeggi e si scaglio' sul mio, tanto forte che solo per
miracolo l'uno e l'altro non andarono a pezzi.
Quello che ci salvo', con l'aiuto del Signore, fu un'unica ancora sfuggita al disastro.

Cristoforo Colombo

Jamaica, 1503
I had decided to depart from the route to avoid the numerous islands and not to entangle their sandbanks.
But the raging seas prevailed, and we had to go back with all sails lost.
Throw the anchor in sight of an island, but left there three anchors at once ...
It was then that the other vessel broke its moorings and hurled herself 'on mine, so strong that only by a miracle none of the two ships went to pieces.
What saved us, with the help of God, was a single anchor escaped the disaster.

Christopher Columbus
