2. Boarding a ship from Adramyttium, we put out to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.
3. The next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him leave to go to his friends and be given care.
4. From there we put out to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.
5. Sailing across the sea off of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6. There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.
7. We sailed slowly for many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to proceed, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
8. Sailing past it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9. As much time had been lost and as the voyage was now dangerous, because the Day of Atonement was already over, Paul advised them,
10. saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives.”
11. But the centurion was persuaded more by the captain and the owner of the ship than by what Paul said.
12. Since the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on from there, if somehow we might reach Phoenix, a harbor in Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and winter there.
13. When a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained the necessary conditions, they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
14. But soon afterward a tempestuous wind swept through, called the Euroclydon.
15. When the ship was overpowered and could not head into the wind, we let her drift.
16. Drifting under the lee of an island called Cauda, we could scarcely secure the rowboat.
