Columbus likely took the slightly northward and southward routes to take advantage of prevailing winds and ocean currents, which would have made the journey more efficient and safer. Additionally, these routes may have helped him avoid potential hazards such as storms or rocky Coastlines. Navigating in this manner also allowed him to explore new territories and gather information about the geography of the region.
