Editing Francis Drake (section)

===Across the Pacific and around Africa===
Drake left the Pacific coast, heading south-west to catch the winds that would carry his ship across the Pacific, and a few months later reached the [[Maluku Islands|Moluccas]], a group of islands in the western Pacific, in eastern modern-day [[Indonesia]]. Harry Kelsey maintains, against scholarly consensus, that because of the contrary prevailing winds and currents, it is much more probable that Drake careened his ship on the shore of [[Magdalena Bay]] in [[Baja California peninsula|Lower California]], and sailed to the Moluccas and Spice Islands from there.<ref name="Kelsey2016">{{cite book |last1=Kelsey |first1=Harry |title=The First Circumnavigators: Unsung Heroes of the Age of Discovery |year=2016 |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=978-0300217780 |pages=131–132 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=b3tJDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA131}}</ref> At this time Diego died from wounds he had sustained earlier in the voyage; ''Golden Hind'' later became caught on a reef and was almost lost.
