Text

Start:

You know why we taking out stone? Is more rough than you will see this sea again for many weeks, but we must go or belly full of wind, the canot must be fast and light to ride high white water, and if the pots have enough it will be heavy coming back.

[... … …]

End:

It will not make you laugh, old man, every night it getting white, and the birds running hungry on the rocks by Maingot side.
