Acts 27:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be carried along. 16 And running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship’s [a]boat under control. 17 After they had hoisted it up, they used [b]supporting cables in undergirding the ship. Fearing that they might (A)run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the [c]sea anchor and in this way let themselves be carried along.

Acts 27:15-17
New International Version
15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat(A) secure, 17 so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground(B) on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor[a] and let the ship be driven along.
