5 We sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia. Then we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6 There the commander found a ship from Alexandria sailing for Italy. He put us on board.
7 We moved along slowly for many days. We had trouble getting to Cnidus. The wind did not let us stay on course. So we passed the calmer side of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8 It was not easy to sail along the coast. Then we came to a place called Fair Havens. It was near the town of Lasea.
9 A lot of time had passed. Sailing had already become dangerous. By now it was after the Day of Atonement, a day of fasting. So Paul gave them a warning.
10 "Men," he said, "I can see that our trip is going to be dangerous. The ship and everything in it will be lost. Our own lives will be in danger also."
11 But the commander didn't listen to what Paul said. Instead, he followed the advice of the pilot and the ship's owner.
