Obsticles
Another obstacle they ran into was the lack of food supplies. Many people died during the trip do to this cause. At times when food ran they would have to eat rats or sawdust. It didn't help them when storms blew them off course for weeks or months. Causing them to stay on the boat with little food.
This obstacle was caused by the lack of food, it was starvation and disease. Because of the lack of nutrients from fruits or vegetables, they easily became sick. Also, they're water supplies weren't exactly the best. With this happening many people died on their voyage to the new world.
During that time they had just discovered North America. They hadn't even known that a whole new continent existed on the other side of the planet. When they were going to travel across an enormous ocean which had who knows what in it, it frightened them. They believed mystical creatures lurked under the deep sea waiting to eat them alive. They feared endlessly, that a ferocious storms would wreck their boats. For months and months they sat on their cramped boat fearing the unknown and what would happen to them. Doubt filled their heart as they set sail to the new world and what it held for them.
