It's not by Columbus. It's a misquote of a line from Andre Gide's 1925 novel The Counterfeiters (Les faux-monnayeurs): "On ne découvre pas de terre nouvelle sans consentir à perdre de vue, d'abord et longtemps, tout rivage" ("One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore").
Metaphorically, undoubtedly the meaning intended is "you won't make any major breakthroughs unless you're prepared to let go of the safe and familiar".
But as a nautical metaphor, it stinks. Commodore Collins of the British Admiralty * said that whoever coined the idea that sailors pre-Columbus stayed within sight of the shore had clearly never been to sea. Sailors from even the most primitive of cultures know that "coast-hugging" is very dangerous, so it's a poor metaphor for safety.
* Cited in Clifford D. Conner's "A People's History of Science: Miners, Midwives, and Low Mechanicks"

What is the place where the Indian and Atlantic ocean meet?
To demarcate where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. The International Hydrographic Organisation, in fact, which describes the western boundary of the Indian Ocean as follows:From the coast of the Antarctic continent northwards, along the meridian of 20°E to Cape Agulhas (34°50'S - 20°00'E), the southern extremity of the Republic of South Africa, in Africa (the common limit with the South Atlantic Ocean).
Although there is a debate about the meeting place of these two oceans, major organisations such as the University of Cape Town, the SA Navy accepts the findings of the IHO
People going to Cape Point to see the two oceans should go wo Cape Agulhus

How does water in the Detroit river get to the Atlantic ocean?
The Great Lakes system are inter-connected to each other and eventually flow to the Atlantic via the St Lawrence Seaway system. Lake Michigan is connected to Lake Huron and then flows through Sarnia and Port Huron, through the Welland canal into Lake Erie from there it flows through to Lake Ontario by way of Niagara Falls and Buffalo, then into the St Lawrence at Kingston and finally flowing into the gulf of St Lawrence. In a less dramatic manner, water also evaporates from the lake and falls as rain and snow on the northeastern US which flows into creeks and streams and rivers into the Atlantic.

How much does the Atlantic Ocean weigh?
the Atlantic ocean is approximately 41.1 million sq miles (106 million sq km) in surface area without it's surrounding seas. It carriers a volume of approx. 77.64 million square miles. At about 62.427 lb per cubic foot at surface pressure. The weight of saline changes per cu foot based on absolute pressure ie the deeper you go, the more dense one cu foot of water will be so the more it will weigh, i do not have the information to calculate the density of the entire ocean. So at surface density one cu mile of sea water weighs about 4594563274.752 us tons. so i calculate that for the sake of casual conversation the approximate weight of the Atlantic ocean is 356,721,892,651,745,280 tons.
Why is the Atlantic Ocean getting larger than the Pacific Ocean?
The Atlantic Ocean is growing bigger because of two divergent plate boundaries, the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. Each year, these two plates move farther and farther apart from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). As these plates separate, oceanic lithosphere forms, resulting in the growth of the Atlantic Ocean.
