In context
11 But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
14 But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
15 Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
16 Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
17 After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
