'Sheltered' in the Bible

After putting out from there, we sailed on the sheltered side of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

We sailed slowly for a number of days and with difficulty arrived off Cnidus. Then, because the wind was against us, we sailed on the sheltered side of Crete off Cape Salome.

As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the ship's lifeboat.
