The precise story, as told by Antonio Pigafetta and the other witnesses, is the fleet had anchored at a tiny—about 3,930 hectares according to Ginés de Mafra--island-port named Mazaua which The Genoese Pilot said was at latitude 9° north, locating the skerry in Mindanao.

Following the route earlier traced, the placename points to Pigafetta's Gatighan which is located by Francisco Albo, the pilot who brought Victoria back to Seville, at 10° north latitude just one nautical mile (1.9 km) above the tip of today's Limasawa.

5650, Peillard in footnote 118 on page 314 and footnote 154 on page 317 assert Mazaua is in the latitude calculated by The Genoese Pilot at 9° north and that Mazaua was in fact part of Mindanao ("Elle en fait partie, en realite". It Mazaua forms part of it Mindanao).
