I now see there is new evidence that Vikings made it to the Azores, and lived there for some time (mice genomes and DNA of fungi that live on domesticated animal droppings). If they made it to the Azores, it would only take one storm, or a bold adventurer (not in short supply), to take one or more boats to the central Americas. There are legends of white bearded men in central American myths.
