The first time that
La primera vez que
We did it once before
La hicimos una vez antes
It wasn’t strong or fast
no era fuerte ni rápido
There was (smth)
Había
I had
Yo tenía
Inflatable boats
botes inflables
Designed for fishing
diseñados para pescar
We started to do
Comenzamos a hacer
After 10 minutes
después de 10 minutos
They were filled with water
estaban llenos de agua
The weather was bad
El clima estaba malo
It rained and was cold
llovió y hacía frío
Moreover
Además
Nobody really knew how to
Nadie realmente sabía cómo
Handle
manejar
We were completely wet
estábamos completamente mojados
With the boats full of water
con los botes llenos de agua
Cold and desperate
fríos y desesperados
Suddenly
De repente
Shore
orilla
Probably
probablemente
To stop
parar
To stop
detener
It was very fast
estaba muy rápido
We could only do it with their help
pudimos hacerlo con la ayuda de ellos
Had to grab
tuvo que agarrar
Leaning tree over the water
árbol inclinado sobre el agua
Hold it ‘like a tick’
aguantarlo ‘como una garrapata’
As someone said
como dijo alguien
For some minutes
durante algunos minutos
Until
hasta que
The men from the camp
los hombres del campamento
Rescued him
lo rescataron
They were geologists
eran geólogos
They were drinking vodka
Estaban bebiendo vodka
They were already quite drunk
ya estaban bastante ebrios
We continued
Continuamos
For the next two days
durante los próximos dos días
They were kind men
Eran hombres amables
The next day
Al día siguiente
We had to
tuvimos que
Row three rapids
remar tres rápidos
They were quite dangerous
eran bastante peligrosos
I remember how
Recuerdo cómo
One of the geologists
uno de los geólogos
Walked along the boats on the shore
caminaba junto a los botes en la orilla
Commented on the rapids
comentaba sobre los rápidos
Of course
por supuesto
It was our boat
era nuestro bote
I was terrified
estaba aterrorizado
They made all the men drink
Hicieron que todos los hombres bebieran
For bravery
para valentía
Due to the fact that
debido a que
The water level was so high
el nivel del agua estaba tan alto
They were not that dangerous
no eran tan peligrosos
Though still quite strong
aunque aún bastante fuertes
