Actually, it would be a smaller route to the island of Newfoundland according to this map of Columbus's original route if they were to be blown off halfway through the voyage to the New World: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Viajes_de_colon_en.svg/2000px-Viajes_de_colon_en.svg.png.

And I figured the harsh cold would be a problem. Would them landing in OTL Massachusetts make more sense?
