Ku dhammee weedhan soo socota: Kadib guuldaradii ay soo gaadheen ciidamada badda, Hawkins wuxuu ku booriyay in la qabsado hantidii gumeysiga ee Philip II, si loo joojiyo dib u qalabeynta Spain. Sanadkii 1589, Hawkins waxa uu la safray Francis Drake oo ku jiray hawlgal milatari oo baaxad weyn (
Safarkii Drake iyo Norris). Mid ka mid ah ujeedooyinkeedu wuxuu ahaa in uu isku dayo in uu qabsado maraakiibta khasnadaha Isbaanishka ee ka dhoofaya Mexico. Hal talaabo oo go'aan ah ayaa ku qasbi laheyd Philip II inuu miiska wada xaajoodka u fariisto oo laga fogaado afar iyo toban sano oo dagaal ah. Balse safarkaasi wuu fashilmay, Boqorkiina wuxuu awooday inuu ka faa'iideysto nasashadaas gaaban si uu dib ugu dhiso ciidamadiisa badda, dhamaadkii 1589, Spain waxay mar kale laheyd ciidamada badda ee Atlantic-ka oo awood u leh inay dib ugu soo celiyaan maraakiibta khasnadaha Mareykanka.
