What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre." He came to Lycia, and having left Cyprus, he sailed down to Tyre. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia." Perhaps this ship had its anchorage here, in Patara; and they, not finding a ship departing for Caesarea, but finding a ship sailing to Phoenicia, set out on it and left Cyprus and Syria to the side, since the expression "leaving on the left" was not added without purpose, but to show that they did not even think of approaching Syria.
Oecumenius
This is what happened: Not finding a ship bound for Caesarea but for Phoenicia, I boarded that one. [CHRYSOSTOM]
