What is recorded here

Carraig Súiteáin is an islet in County Cork, Ireland. Perhaps the undertow named in its title still pulls at boots and ropes today. Maybe fishermen avoided it not from fear of rocks but from respect for water that takes back what it is given. Imagine standing on its edge at low tide, hearing the current speak before seeing it move.
