If I don't tell you that now to you, the day of the week we had, it was Friday.
Agus bhí an bhá an-chiúin.
And the bay was very quiet.
Agus bhí sé ag cur báisteach ar feadh an lae.
And it was raining all day.
Bhuel, tiomps ar a sé a chlog, tráthnóna.
Well, around six o'clock in the evening..

God’s blessing on you there on the southern island, and then that went to the northern island, the place where we had the curraghs, the place they called the dock, and the nets.

Agus bhí beirt fhear ann, gach currach.

Agus bhí an oíche bróch bróch ann.
And it was a wild, wild night..
