Summary
The bard describes how he decided to go to sea, and bade farewell to his family. His ship sailed across to Newfoundland from Greenock, and the journey was a difficult one in which some of the Gaels proved their skill at tending to the sails. He hopes that his health will last and that he will come home one day.
