Acts 27:12-20

[12] And  the haven  was  not commodious  to  winter in,  the more part  advised  to depart  they might  attain  to  Phenice,  and there to winter;  which is an haven  of Crete,  and lieth  toward  the south west  and  north west.  [13] And  when the south wind  blew softly,  supposing  that they had obtained  their purpose,  loosing  thence, they sailed  close by  Crete.  [14] But  not  long  after  there arose  against  it  a tempestuous  wind,  called  Euroclydon.  [15] And  when the ship  was caught,  and  could  not  bear up into  the wind,  we let her drive.  [16] And  running under  a certain  island  which is called  Clauda,  much  work  to come by  the boat:  [17] Which  when they had taken up,  they used  helps,  undergirding  the ship;  and,  fearing  lest  they should fall  into  the quicksands,  strake  sail,  and so  were driven.  [18] And  being exceedingly  tossed with a tempest,  the next  day they lightened the ship;  [19] And  the third  day we cast out  with our own hands  the tackling  of the ship.  [20] And  when neither  sun  nor  stars  in  many  days  appeared,  and  no  small  tempest  lay on  us, all  hope  should be saved  then  taken away.
