To check if the cape had been surpassed, Saldanha anchored in the hitherto unknown <a href="/wiki/Table_Bay" title="Table Bay">Table Bay</a>, and went ashore.<sup id="cite_ref-Theal_1902:_163_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Theal_1902:_163-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Saldanha thus became the first European to set foot in what was to become modern <a href="/wiki/Cape_Town" title="Cape Town">Cape Town</a>. Saldanha climbed the flat-topped mountain adjacent to the bay and identified the tip of the Cape (<a href="/wiki/Cape_Point" title="Cape Point">Cape Point</a>) further to the south. He named the peak <i>Table Mountain</i> and (legend has it that he and his men) carved a cross in the rock of a nearby formation, traces of which can still be found on <a href="/wiki/Lion%27s_Head_(Cape_Town)" title="Lion's Head (Cape Town)">Lion's Head</a> today.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Saldanha replenished his water supplies at a local watering hole (he also got into a brief skirmish with local <a href="/wiki/Khoikhoi" class="mw-redirect" title="Khoikhoi">Khoikhoi</a> and was slightly wounded), before returning to his ship.<sup id="cite_ref-Theal_1902:_163_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Theal_1902:_163-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Table Bay was promptly named <i>Aguada de Saldanha</i> (Saldanha's watering stop) by Portuguese 16th-century cartographers.

Henceforth this location became known as <i><a href="/wiki/Saldanha_Bay" title="Saldanha Bay">Saldanha Bay</a></i> and the place where Saldanha anchored was renamed <i>Table Bay</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Botanical_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botanical-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Events from here are a bit obscure. It seems after multiple attempts, Saldanha finally doubled the cape, but his ship was in sufficiently poor shape to force him to put into <a href="/wiki/Mossel_Bay" title="Mossel Bay">Mossel Bay</a> for repair. A note left at that watering hole says he was still there in October, 1503. During this interlude, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Rui_Louren%C3%A7o_Ravasco&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rui Lourenço Ravasco (page does not exist)">Rui Lourenço Ravasco</a> was actually waiting for him in <a href="/wiki/Mozambique_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Mozambique Island">Mozambique Island</a>.

They proceeded together to force a treaty on <a href="/wiki/Mombassa" class="mw-redirect" title="Mombassa">Mombassa</a>, before heading up to the Red Sea. Saldanha and Lourenço Ravasco spent the winter of 1503-04 around <a href="/wiki/Cape_Guardafui" title="Cape Guardafui">Cape Guardafui</a>, capturing numerous Arab merchant ships.
