The Shipwreck
39 Now when it was day, (A)they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore. 40 So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach. 41 But striking a reef,[a] (B)they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf.
