Acts 27:15

And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.

And when the ship was caught ... Alas, some situations must be guarded against before they occur, not after they have developed; and so it was here. They had already passed the point of no return to the Fair Havens they had just left. Many wayward souls have discovered that some decisions admit of no correction. They like the ship are "caught."

And driven ... The ship and all on board were now at the mercy of the winds and waves.
