The Cermefio expedition made one extended
landfall at Drake’s Bay (‘‘La Baya de San
Francisco’’) where multiple meetings took place
with native peoples from November 6 to December 8, 1595. The documented encounters involved the initial meeting of the voyagers and
natives alongside the San Agustin and later encounters in or near the native villages. Unlike
Drake’s account, little was recorded about gatherings at the Spaniards’ camp or daily meetings
with local peoples. After the voyagers abandoned Drake’s Bay when their ship sank, three
additional, but very brief, interactions were recorded with peoples in southern California and

On board Vizcaino’s flagship, the San Diego,
18 placenames were recorded as natives were
encountered in Baja and Alta California. Similar
to Cabrillo’s voyage, most visits were short.
Vizcaino and his men were also attempting to
tack northward from Baja to Alta California
against contrary winds and currents; consequently, when conditions proved favorable, the expedition maximized its time at sea. The average
length of time per stay in the 18 places was 4.79
days (see Fig. 3). In half of the places, the extent of the layovers was one or two days (including brief meetings with people in canoes). Other
landfalls were of longer duration that included
