Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, as the wind was against us,

For a number of days we made slow progress and had some difficulty in arriving off Cnidus. Then as the wind kept us from going on, we sailed under the lee of Crete, off Cape Salmone,

As we passed under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with great difficulty to secure the ship's boat.
