Acts 27:6

AlexandriaItaly

4 After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5 And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.

There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

7 After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

8 After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
