Columbus leaves Puerto de la Concepción but contrary wind turns him back

He left that Puerto de la Concepción with a land breeze, and soon after it fell calm, and he found it so every day he was there. Afterward a Levante wind came; he sailed with it to the north-northeast, reached la Isla de la Tortuga, saw a point of it which he called la Punta Pierna, which lay east-northeast of the head of the island, and it would be 12 miles, and from there he discovered another point, which he called la Punta Lanzada, on the same course of the northeast, which would be 16 miles. And so from the head of Tortuga to the Punta Aguda it would be 44 miles, which are 11 leagues, to the east-northeast. Along that way there were some great stretches of beach. This island of Tortuga is very high land, but not mountainous, and it is very beautiful and very full of people, like that of the Isla Española, and the land all tilled in the same way, so that it seemed like seeing the countryside of Córdoba. Seeing that the wind was contrary to him and he could not go to the island Baneque, he resolved to return to the Puerto de la Concepción, from which he had set out, and he could not reach a river that lies two leagues to the east of the said harbor.
