"and he spent the winters alternately abroad and with his father" (one
winter abroad, the next with his father, and so on). Don't forget to
check the notes in Gordon!
More literally: "Bjarni brought his ship to Eyrar". 'koma' is used
here as a transiotive verb meaning "to bring", the thing brought being
dative.
Yes, or maybe you could say that he was greatly affected by the news,
took it to heart.
Lit. "and receive from his father hospitality-for-the-winter", i.e.
"spend the winter with his father".
first thought it applied to the Monks
Yes, you got it right in the end.
