Leon went 0.38 miles to get from Spain to Florida.

Ponce de León sailed from San German, San Juan Bautista in the afternoon of March 3rd, 1513 with a fleet of three ships and about 65 men. The settlers consisted of sailors to man the ships, some soldiers and some adventurers. They went to Aguada to take on fresh water, and sailed bound to Bimini on March 4th.

Diego Bermudez was the captain of the flagship, the caravel Santiago, and Antón de Alaminos as chief pilot and navigator. Bermudez had the distinction that his brother discovered the island of Bermuda, which was named after him. Alaminos claim to fame was that he had been a cabin boy on Columbus' first trip to the New World. Besides Bermudez and Alaminos, the crew consisted of seven sailors, 8 cabin boys, and three soldiers. Juan Buono de Quexo, an old friend of Ponce de León was in command of the caravel Santa Maria de Consolación. This ship contained about thirty-eight persons. There was one woman on this ship, Juana Ruíz, who would be the first European woman to set foot on Tierra Firma, of what is today, the United States of America. There were also two free Black Africans on the crew. As part of the party, there were two Indian slaves that were from the Lucayas, (the name given to the present day Bahamas Islands) and would be used as pilots and translators and one white slave. The third ship, the San Cristóbal, was a two mast brigantine of shallow draft allowing it to get close to the shore, under the Juan Perez de Ortubia and probably held about 15 persons. The first two ships were owned by Ponce de León, and the third, was requisitioned with the owners paid for the use of the ship. This ship normally sailed between Española and Puerto Rico, carrying supplies and passengers. In all, there were about 65 members of this expedition, designed to explore and not settle the newly discovered lands.

The ships sailed to the northwest, and skirted the Caicos and Turks Islands. They stopped at Guanahani (San Salvador), where Columbus first made land fall, during his first voyage. They sailed past Great Abaco Island and anchored in eight fathoms of water off an uncharted coast. The next day, they rowed ashore and took of the land in the name of Spain. He found the land very rich in plants, (cypress, jasmines, pines, azaleas, etc) and animals, (birds, turkeys, alligators, deer, etc). Ponce de León made his discovery of Florida during Easter, and because of this, he named the land Pascua Florida. Ponce de León, believed that the land was part of a large island, and did not know that they were on Tierra Firme. Using antiquated instruments, an astrolabe, they determined that they were at 30º North latitude. This would put them just south of the mouth of the St. Johns River near St. Augustine. Some scholars believe that these charts were wrong, and place his landing somewhere around Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach.

When de Leon sailed there were only paintings that were done. We barely know what he looked like let alone his family. The camera wasn't invented until the 1800's so there are no photos.
