April 1528 CE

The Narváez expedition, after battling more storms, rounds the western tip of Cuba and makes its way toward Havana.

Although they are close enough to see the masts of ships in port, the wind blows the fleet into the Gulf of Mexico without their reaching Havana.

Narváez decides to press on with the journey and colonization plans.

They spend the next month trying to reach the Mexican coast but cannot overcome the Gulf Stream's powerful current.
