The fleet sails south from Cozumel, along the east coast of the peninsula.
The Spanish spot three large Maya cities along the coast, one of which is probably Tulum, a busy Maya commercial center with dazzling white buildings.
On Ascension Thursday the fleet discovers a large bay, which the Spanish name Bahía de la Ascensión.
Grijalva does not land at any of these cities and turns back north from Ascensión Bay.
