Sail into sleep, the horizon awaits

Step aboard with Columbus in this multi-part reading of The Journal of the First Voyage. As the ocean stretches beyond the horizon, his handwritten entries—read in a calm, AM radio style—chart the early hopes and uncertainties of a journey into the unknown. With every gentle wave and creak of the ship, you’re carried closer to sleep.
