Acts 27: Paul is sent to Rome with two friends

Paul is a Roman citzen and a prisioner who appealed to Ceasar. He was in Ceasaria Martima that worked like a great Airport Hub with ships to many destinations. He had been previously many times there. Now, Paul is sent to Rome in a ship to Sidon with two friends: Luke and Aristarchus.
Although I live in large city, I don't have many friends. Paul was a prisioner with two leal friends but not only that, he was always gaining friends in his life. He was assigned under the care of the centurion Julius who became friend of Paul. They changed to an Egyptian ship full of wheat (a valuable cargo) which was destroyed in a shipwreck. In a way, Paul was taking care of all in the ship, he wanted them all alive.
Paul had a mission and he cared for people (not only Christians). No wonder he had friends.
