“In this district when a boat is made it is never launched in the day time fearing a woman might be on the road by those carrying the boat.”
In this district when a boat is made it is never launched in the day time fearing a woman might be on the road by those carrying the boat. At Bunaw some thirty or 40 years ago a new boat was being carefully brought to the sea through the fields at 1 o'clock in the midnight so as to avoid all chances of the appearance of any woman. But a voice spoke "Seadh Tá bád Agaibh" & they had like to drop dead. It happened however that she was a harmless demented creature walking about, but the custom is still alive.(no title)

No important work is done on Monday or journey started and if one must catch a boat or train by so doing he leaves his own home Sunday evening and stay at a neighbours over night. This happened when boys or girls were going to America and it still happens when they are going to England.- Collector
