Acts 27:7-17

7After sailing slowlyG1020G2532G3433 forG1722 manyG2425 daysG2250, we arrivedG1096 offG2596 CnidusG2834. When theG3588 windG417 impededG3361G4330 usG1473, we sailed to the leeG5284 of CreteG2914, oppositeG2596 SalmoneG4534. 8After we had moved along the coastG3881G846 with difficultyG3433, we cameG2064 toG1519 aG5100 placeG5117 calledG2564 FairG2570 HavensG3040, nearG1451 the townG4172 of LaseaG2996.

9By nowG1161 muchG2425 timeG5550 had passedG1230, andG2532 theG3588 voyageG4144 had already becomeG2235G1510 dangerousG2000 becauseG1223 it was afterG3928 theG3588 FastG3521.1 So PaulG3972 advisedG3867 them, 10“MenG435, I can seeG2334 thatG3754 our voyageG4144 willG3195 beG1510 filled withG3326 disasterG5196 andG2532 greatG4183 lossG2209, notG3756 onlyG3440 toG3588 shipG4143 andG2532 cargoG5413, butG235 to ourG1473 own livesG5590 as wellG2532.”

11ButG1161 contrary toG3123G2228 Paul’sG3972 adviceG3004, theG3588 centurionG1543 was persuadedG3982 by theG3588 pilotG2942 andG2532 by theG3588 owner of the shipG3490. 12SinceG1161 theG3588 harborG3040 wasG5225 unsuitableG428 toG4314 winter inG3915, theG3588 majorityG4119 decidedG5087G1012 to sailG321 onG1564, hoping thatG1487 somehowG4459 they couldG1410 reachG2658G1519 PhoenixG5405 to winterG3914 there. Phoenix was a harborG3040 in CreteG2914 facingG991 both southwestG3047 andG2532 northwestG5566.

13When a gentle south windG3558 began to blowG5285, they thoughtG1380 they hadG2902 their opportunityG4286. So they weighedG142 anchor and sailed alongG3881, hugging the coastG788 of CreteG2914. 14ButG1161 it was notG3756 longG4183 before a cycloneG5189G417 calledG2564 the NortheasterG2148 sweptG906 down acrossG2596 the island. 15UnableG3361G1410 to head intoG503 theG3588 windG417, theG3588 shipG4143 was caught upG4884. So we gave wayG1929 and let ourselves be driven alongG5342.

Passing to the leeG5295 of a smallG5100 islandG3519 calledG2564 CaudaG2802,2 we barely managedG2480G3433 to secureG1096G4031 theG3588 lifeboatG4627. 17After hoisting it upG142, the crew usedG5530 ropesG996 to undergirdG5269 theG3588 shipG4143. AndG5037 fearingG5399 thatG3361 they would run agroundG1601 onG1519 theG3588 sandbars of SyrtisG4950, they loweredG5465 theG3588 sea anchorG46323 and were driven alongG5342.
