10“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
11But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12Since 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.
13When 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.
14But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
15Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
— Acts 27:10-15
