4th Folder, 4th Picture


I was tagged by my friend A to do this . . .
Go to your pictures folder and open the 4th folder and the 4th picture in that folder and post it to your blog. Tell us about it.

This picture was taken on our trip to Astoria, Oregon last year (yes for all you children of the 80's- where the Goonies live). We went to the Maritime museum and I took a picture of ten things fishermen do for luck. Since you can't read them in the picture, here they are:
10- It's bad luck to leave for a fishing trip on a Friday
9- Rabbits or pigs should never be mentioned; they're bad luck
8- Never whistle on board; it calls up the wind
7- Never cook pea soup on board a fishing boat; it brings stormy weather
6- Don't take off the hatch cover until the first fish is landed
5- Never leave the hatch covers upside down
4- No suitcases on board; only farmers carry suitcases
3- Cans of food, or anything else, must be stored with labels right-side up, to keep the boat from capsizing. Upside down cans can also throw off the compass
2- A boat's bottom paint is better if applied by the light of the full moon
1- Fish bite best before a storm

Now I expect your next fishing trip to be a complete success!!!
