12That place, Fair Havens Harbour, was not a good place to stay in the cold weather time, so most of the people on the ship reckoned we had to leave there and go on a bit further, to a town called Phoenix, and stay there for the cold weather time. The harbour at Phoenix was all right. It was open to the sea in 2 directions, but the strong winds didn’t blow in those directions in the cold weather time.
13We waited at Fair Havens Harbour till the strong wind stopped. Then a little wind started to blow from the south, and the sailors thought that they could sail the ship to Phoenix, so they lifted the anchor, and sailed west along the southern shore of Crete Island.
