At Fair Havens they were compelled to remain for some time, waiting for favoring winds. During this time the Jewish season of navigation ended. Gentiles considered it safe to travel until a later date; but there was no hope of completing the voyage. The only question now to be decided was, whether to stay where they were or attempt to reach a more favorable place to spend the winter. {LP 263.3}

I de »Gode Havne« var de tvunget til at blive for en tid, og vente på bedre vinde. I den tid sluttede den jødiske sæson for sejlads. Hedningene anså det ikke for sikkert at rejse før en senere dato; men der var ikke håb for at fulende rejsen. Det eneste spørgsmål der nu skulle afgøres var, omm de skulle blive hvor de var, eller prøve at nå et bedre sted at tilbringe vinteren på.
