Acts 27:12-13
27:12 Because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided
to put out to sea
from there. They hoped that
somehow they could reach
Phoenix,

27:13 When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought
they could carry out
their purpose, so they weighed anchor
and sailed close along the coast
of Crete.
