That's a hell of a paddle in a coracle.
More a longship, I think! :)
the last line a rather ungenerous swipe at the Irish...
True, tho' more positive than Abu'l-Fida, who says only "the island of Ireland...It is well known for its numerous disturbances"!
Ha, yes! Though at least Ibrahim ibn Ya'qub (10th c) approved of Irish whaling techniques.
Ah, yes, very true---far more complementary, both of their whaling skills and their mantles!
ah, wait, no, I'm thinking al-Udhri in the 11thC on mantles+whales!
So they did a sort of background check, or at least had a question-and-answer session? Being Christian not that reassuring!
I assume it's some kind of port control, but is rather unclear!
I suppose that after you had spent so much time getting somewhere, you didn't want to turn around and go home right away!
