They have sailed for days and days, and there has been no sight of land. They have had clear skies and steady winds, but Christopher's crew is angry and they are fighting. There is even talk of turning back. The crew has even threatened to push him overboard and sail back to Spain. but he is never going to let that happen. He have gone too far to turn back now. He believes land must be near, he knows. Crewmen have spotted branches in the waters and birds that could not possibly go very far from land. From these signs Christopher was certainly sure land is near.
