“And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.”
They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee — the arrival in Gerasene territory (Gentile, east of the lake) is the same transition as in Mark 5. Across the lake from Galilee communicates the crossing-over that the storm nearly prevented — the mission to Gentile territory required crossing through the storm.
