    (continued from previous page)
    A salmon reared on any river when going back must taste every river water before he gets there. We flung our "buoy" and anchor from the bow and crossed to the other buoy. When the skipper wanted the boat to go better to one side than another he shouted Pull Port or "Pull port A Theannaig". I remember catching 7 score herring that day.
