Here Vizcaino found the much desired harbor of refuge, and he named it for his patron, the Conde de Monterey.
Believing that Vizcaino had made an error in his chart, they pushed on further north.
The Cross which Vizcaino had planted in 1602 was found decked with skins and shells.
The results of the expedition did not add to Vizcaino's reputation, but he made a most glowing report of his discoveries.
Under this order, Vizcaino applied to Viceroy Velasco, and received his permission to make the journey.
