And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
After we said goodbye and set sail, we headed straight to Coos, then the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Sometimes the journey matters just as much as the destination, even the travel days are part of God's story.
