In the later 1400s, Christopher Columbus' ambition to discover a westward passage to the Indies was delayed by numerous factors. One of these was a successful (and final) conclusion to the famed "Reconquista", as this military (and religious) venture demanded as top priority the attention and, even more, the funding of Columbus' royal patrons.
the king and queen of Spain wanted to get rid of all not going to be catholic and thought that was more important after the Reconquista he went back to them and asked a final time since they had nothing else to do they agreed
Because money was tight for Isabela and Ferdinand
He had to leave his family and it was too early for his family to say goodbye>
Columbus didn't sail until 1492. In 1392 there wasn't the maps nor navigational tools that there were in 1492.

Columbus never made land in North America, so he didn't take any ships to " New York". NY also did not exist in the 1400's. Nothing was there until the Dutch founded a colony 200 years later. So, he,took ZERO ships to NY.
The first voyage of Columbus left Spain on August 1, but was delayed for repairs on the Canary Islands until August 9. They finally arrived on an island in the Bahamas on October 12. There is no clear evidence which island it was. So that would be approximately two months and three days, or 62-63 days. There were four voyages all together, and Columbus did not find the mainland until the third voyage.
He went to the Monastery of La Rabida in Huelva in 1491 until 1492 while he waited for financial support for his first transatlantic voyage.

He could not go until Reconquista was over because the monarch didn't want to waste the money.

De Leon and Columbus were NOT on the same voyage. They were both sent by Spain, but Columbus never reached the main land of the North America and De Leon did. Columbus sailed in 1492, but De Leon didn't leave Spain until 1510. The only connection they may have had is that De Leon was made governor of Hispaniola and then Porto Rico. I know Columbus thought that those should have been his jobs.
