Leaving Port on Friday

I'm about to start implementing my new retirement plan. Which is to get to someplace warm at least once a month during the winter until Spring outfitting starts. While trying avoid going through Airports as much as possible. So Friday I'm jumping on a Cruise Ship out of New York City heading to the Bahamas. It was a very reasonably priced cruise so I jumped on it. The only negative is that is leaving on a Friday which also happens to be Friday the 13th. Which may explain why it was so cheap. :) I was trying to remember why it was bad luck for sailors to leave port on a Friday? Let alone on a Friday the 13th. Wish me luck!
It's bad luck to be superstitious.
 
I crossed the North Atlantic in November on a liner when I was a kid and it did the same - I've never had any real desire to cross an ocean on a small boat. :cut_out_animated_em
