Years: 1504 - 1504
August
Lopo Soares had left Mozambique on August 1.
Although instructed by his regimento to make a stop in Malindi, it is possible he sails for India directly from Mozambique.
Damião de Góis reports the sixth armada did stop at Malindi, and was (as usual) well received by the Sultan of Malindi.
Góis asserts the Sultan of Malindi not only resupplied the ships, but provided Lopo Soares with a Muslim pilot named 'Debucar'.
He also handed over sixteen Portuguese shipwrecked sailors, survivors of Ataíde's capsized ship, who had been collected by Malindi boats earlier that year.
The sixth armada remains in Malindi only two days, before setting off on their Indian Ocean crossing.
