Acts 27:14-17

14Not long after this, a hurricane-force wind called the northeaster blew down from the island.

15When the ship was caught in it and could not head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

16As we ran under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to get the ship’s boat under control.

17After the crew had hoisted it aboard, they used supports to undergird the ship. Fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, thus letting themselves be driven along.
