Instead, while Columbus' ships sheltered at the mouth of the Rio Jaina, the first Spanish treasure fleet sailed into the hurricane. Columbus' ships survived with only minor damage, while twenty-nine of the thirty ships in the governor's fleet were lost to the july 1st storm. In addition to the ships, 500 lives (including that of the governor, Francisco de bobaldia) and an immense cargo of gold were surrendered to the sea. After a brief stop at Jamaica, Columbus sailed to Central america, arriving at Guanaja (isla de pinos) in the Bay islands off the coast of Honduras on july 30. Here Bartolomeo found native merchants and a large canoe, which was described as "long as a galley" and was filled with cargo. On august 14, he landed on the American mainland at Puerto Castilla, near trujillo, Honduras. He spent two months exploring the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa rica, before arriving in Almirante Bay, Panama on October 16.
