Superstitions

[ashland69]

Well my friend ashland69 you may be correct on all of your facts, comments and information about the Friday sailing stuff! However I have my own theory and my own superstitions. In 33 years of going out to see and photograph the ships on the St. Clair River, whenever I start up on a Friday I then struggle mightily that whole entire year and season while on the St. Clair River that year. Perfect example, in 2023 April 14 was on a Friday and that date was when I first started that year. Point is, I struggled with only 11 times to the river and then that fall I became very sick and ill with pneumonia and ended up in the hospital with an infection to which I needed surgery to drain lung fluid from me then. Later, I had a Seizure while recovering from all of this while in Rehabilitation. So, I’ll leave that to you and many others. Was it a coincidence and possibly a curse on me for starting at the river on a Friday then or just plain ‘ole stuff unfortunately happens?

I hear you, my friend, but, take a deep breath and chalk it up to life in general. Have good day and a good year, Craig

I'm not superstitious Denny-- so I'll chalk it up to " life happens to us all" .............

How did you make out with the new computer this winter-- you get it all dialed in yet ??

Hope you are well and have trips to the river planned already !
