Paul's journey to Rome was interrupted with a shipwreck and gone with winds to Malta. It's a no trade or commerce route, so there will be no frequent ships. The purpose of God was to take Paul to Rome. God had His plans, a ship that was there with full of grain enroute to Rome from Egypt has stayed to spend winter there, Although it's not the regular route, why that ship came to spend winter is unclear. The regular shipyard is on the other side. This ship which is called Castor and Pollux, the name after the two sons of a roman god Jupiter, carried Apostle Paul to Rome. Even while they were crossing different waters of the sea with different sea currents between Rhegium and Messana which is highly dangerous before reaching Puteoli, there is clear evidence of purpose of God behind Paul.
We are made with a purpose and to fulfill that purpose God has His own plans and He knows how to fulfill them. Just be obedient to be thank ful. Perhaps the purpose in Paul's journey to Rome was not the death sentence but to preach about Jesus between the well learned, atleast for two years.
