15 and when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven. 16 And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda,[a] we managed with difficulty to secure the boat; 17 after hoisting it up, they took measures[b] to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they should run on the Syr′tis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

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.
