July 1501 CE

Barros suggests that after leaving Kilwa, the Third Armada immediately set sail for India, but Correia claims Nova sailed first to Malindi, to deliver a letter from King Manuel I of Portugal to the Sultan of Malindi.

The sultan of Malindi receives the Portuguese well, supplying them amply with biscuit, rice, butter, chickens, sheep and other foodstuffs.

Correia claims that it was at this time that Nova picked up the letters that Cabral had dispatched by messenger from Mozambique, and learned more of the details of the falling out with the Zamorin of Calicut, the Portuguese factory at Cochin and the friendly relations with Cannanore and Quilon.

The Third Armada leaves Malindi on July 28 and sets out on its Indian Ocean crossing.

With the favorable monsoon winds, the journey will take eighteen days (according to Correia.)
