The proof of the location of Ochuse Bay will come with the discovery of Santa Maria, the settlement of the Luna expedition. For at least two years, members of the Luna expedition were present at the colony, therefore, the site should be archeologically identifiable.
Several clues are available for determining the location of the settlement.
There was also a stream or bayou near the colony where the Spaniards found some of their supplies floating after a hurricane. Apalachee Bay research has been in progress for the past two years. The research results are listed on the orange Santa Maria Table under the P2 column.
