Translate:
unbawndonit: not fastened or under control, loose (of animals).
On sight of your unfastened, wild, free and enormous animal bulk swimming under I was reluctant to row on to the rocket.
But I did not know you spoke Scots fluently or were a casual traveller of the galaxy yourself.
Otherwise I would have gone for it and been on my way home. Sorry for misjudging you.
But you have been telling me you have your own spaceship.
Any chance of a lift?
