On the voyage to Rome, the Alexandrian grain ship carrying Paul put in at Fair Havens on the south coast of Crete after weeks of bad weather — and Paul warned them not to sail on. The decision to press west for Phoenix led straight into the storm and shipwreck on Malta.
After leaving Myra of Lycia aboard an Alexandrian grain ship bound for Italy, Paul and his fellow prisoners struggled west against contrary winds for many days, slowly working their way around the south coast of Crete and arriving at Fair Havens near the city of Lasea (Acts 27:7-12). By then the sailing season was nearly over — Luke notes that "much time had passed and the voyage was already dangerous because even the Fast was already over" (a reference to the Day of Atonement, mid-October).
