Acts 27:7 Sailed slowly. On account of contrary winds. From Myra to Cnidus was only 137 miles, yet it required many days. The language seems to imply that the ship was not able to come into the port of Cnidus, a good harbor, fit for wintering, on the Carian coast. We sailed under Crete. From Cnidus, they ought to have sailed west, but the headwinds compelled them to direct their course to the south, where they took shelter under the lee of Crete. The winds were still evidently from the northwest.
