FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH
Today is Friday the Thirteenth, It means different things to different people. Sailors tend to be more superstitious than many of the population.
In 1969, shortly before the Admiral’s Cup I was in London and a gypsy tried to give me some Scottish Thistle in front of Harrods. I ran in horror feeling that somehow this would jinks our efforts to win the Admiral’s Cup. I cannot report, other than the fact that we returned to the United States with the Cup.
