In the four years since the Portolá Expedition, Fages had traveled extensively inland, although not far enough north to confirm Portolá’s suspicions that the bay 100 miles to the north—the one described in such awe by Sergeant Ortega four years earlier—was anything more than a big swamp. Anza wanted to blaze a trail up to Drake’s Bay. (The reader should recall that Drake’s Bay was still called Bahia de San Francisco—San Francisco Bay—by the Spaniards). Suspecting that he would have to skirt a massive swamp in order 46 yerba buena to get around to the Bahia, Anza knew that he would need far more men and supplies than what he had with him at that time.

The San Antonio arrived eight days later. 33 On July 9, 1770, Portolá handed over command of the Monterey fortification to his loyal lieutenant, Pedro Fages, who had accompanied him on both overland excursions. Portolá then stepped aboard the San Antonio and sailed back to New Spain, never to return to California again. Although Portolá is often credited with “discovering” San Francisco, it was his scout, Sergeant José Francisco de Ortega, who was the first European to set eyes on San Francisco Bay.
