Why did Leif Erikson want to sail west?

According to the Eiriks saga, Erikson sailed off course on his return to Greenland and landed in North America. He called the region where he landed Vinland after the wild grapes that grew in abundance there and the general fertility of the land.

Explanation:

Around the year 1000 A.D., Leif sailed from Greenland to Norway to visit the home of his grandfather. There he served in the court of King Olaf I Tryggvason, who converted him from his Norse religion to Christianity.

The second of the three sons of Erik the Red, the first colonizer of Greenland, Leif sailed from Greenland to Norway shortly before 1000 to serve among the retainers at the court of Olaf I Tryggvason, who converted him to Christianity and commissioned him to urge that religion upon the Greenland settlers.
