Re: catalina27-talk: Happy St Patty's Day

[Don & Lynn Conner]

I did some surfing on the net about green being a bad luck color on sail boats (something near and dear to my heart since a major accent color on Cheri Lynn is hunter green!)..and the closest I've come about that particular superstition is that sailors believe anything that is colored green (a color of the sea) is likely to be returned TO the sea (as in under the waves.....)

 

Maybe since Cap'n Hubby is half Irish (and half Italian) it will cancel out any bad luck.......
