Acts 27:14-17

14Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island.

15The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.

16As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure,

17so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
