ὑποπλέω G5284
to sail under the lee of (an island or coast), seeking shelter from wind
This nautical term means to sail in the sheltered water on the leeward side of an island or coastline, using the land mass as protection from wind and waves. Luke uses it twice in his detailed account of Paul's voyage to Rome, describing how the storm-battered ship sought refuge by sailing under the lee of Cyprus and then Crete. The technical precision adds authenticity to the narrative.

1. sense 1 — The nautical verb ὑποπλέω describes sailing in the protected waters on the lee side of land. Acts 27:4 and 27:7 both describe the ship's attempt to find shelter during Paul's voyage: sailing 'under the lee of Cyprus' and later Crete because contrary winds prevented direct sailing. Luke's accurate seamanship terminology (reflected across languages: German ὑπεπλεύσαμεν, French naviguer-sous) grounds the narrative in realistic maritime detail. 2×
