Acts 27:9-19

9 And when much time was spent and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
10 Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
12 And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice, to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.
13 And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
15 And when the ship was caught and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
16 And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
17 Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard and so were driven.
18 And we, being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tacking of the ship.
