Gevurot 27:11-13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹¹ But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and the owner rather than by the dvarim of Rav Sha’ul.

¹² But the port being unfavorably situated for spending the winter, the majority decided to set sail from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to spend the winter. It was a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest.

¹³ And a gentle south wind began to blow, and they thought they could attain their matarah (objective), so they weighed anchor and they were sailing past Crete, close by the shore.
