Acts 27:15

New Living Translation

The sailors couldn’t turn the ship into the wind, so they gave up and let it run before the gale.

See the chapter Copy

But the weather changed abruptly, and a wind of typhoon strength (called a “northeaster”) burst across the island and blew us out to sea.

We sailed along the sheltered side of a small island named Cauda, where with great difficulty we hoisted aboard the lifeboat being towed behind us.

About midnight on the fourteenth night of the storm, as we were being driven across the Sea of Adria, the sailors sensed land was near.

And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong.
