Columbus thought he was pioneering a back way to China or Japan - he thought the world was much smaller than it is. He ended up in what is now called the Bahamas on his first voyage.

Fray Bartolome de Las Casas sailed with Columbus on Columbus's third voyage, 1498-1500. Las Casas had probably met Columbus before the famous 1492 voyage because Las Casas's father sailed with Columbus to the New World (Las Casas would have been about nine years old in 1492). During his own voyage with the captain, Las Casas saw both Columbus the explorer and Columbus the governor. Las Casas had high praise for Columbus the explorer because of the sailor's efforts to bring Christianity to the Native Americans. For Columbus the governor, however, Las Casas had a much different view. Las Casas was shocked by the atrocities against the Indians which were allowed by Columbus.
Two months and eight days. Two months, from the 3rd of August to the 12th October 1492. To elaborate on the above data left by others, much of the overall time was spent sailing to the Canary Islands for supplies first. It took approximately 37 days for him to get from those islands to the Bahamas. He left them on September 6, 1492, and arrived on October 12. If my math is off, please excuse that.
He took roughly 87 men

Because, at the time it was one the largest ships ever built. Also, it was on its first "maiden" voyage.
There was no concern. The crown needed money and if Columbus was successful all of them would be rich.

Ferdinand and Isabella had heard that Columbus and his brothers were not doing a good job governing the colonies in the New World. Columbus had not brought back much in the way of gold or other riches, and the King and queen thought he might be cheating them. They sent a nobleman, Bobadilla, to investigate. Bobadilla arrived in August of 1500 with 500 assorted Spaniards. Bobadilla found some of the rumors to be true and threw Columbus and his brothers in a dungeon in chains. They went back to Spain still shackled in October of 1500. Columbus was able to talk his way out of his troubles and made a fourth voyage.
