"When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did
observe a bay with a beach, and
they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could. And casting off the anchors, they left
them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening
the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to
the wind, they were heading for the
beach."
Acts 27:39-40
“And large crowds gathered to
Him, so He
got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on
the beach.”
Matthew 13:2
