I believe all superstitions go back to a long forgotten practical reason why you did or did not do something. It is important to root out the original reason so as not to be affected by a ridiculous belief. The only "people" it was unlucky for to have pigs on board were the pigs as they were usually provisions on the hoof.

Not superstitious at all, and never adhered to that old notion that it was bad luck to leave port on a Friday. But, we're setting sail this afternoon for an extended weekend cruise and it is Friday the 13th.

Perhaps we should leave the bananas and free-range pig in port - just to be on the safe side.

I would be the expert on suffering from toxic exposure and living full time on the boat to stay clear of our toxic civilized world. This illness causes me to have memory problems and all around brain running deficencies as well as many other problems, therefore, it would be important to understand only about half of what I say might be true. I do try to be accurate, but if I am not, I simply do not remember. Gone are the days I speak with any authority, however, most of the rest of you are a joy for me. Even if I don't remember which ones you are.
