Columbus sailed south along the African coast to gain knowledge of the trade winds and currents that would aid his journey westward. He aimed to find a westward route to Asia, and by exploring the African coastline, he sought to gather resources, establish contacts, and better understand navigational patterns. This route also allowed him to observe and learn about the maritime practices of other nations engaged in exploration. Ultimately, this preparation was crucial for his successful transatlantic voyage.
