[PSUBS-MAILIST] Lake Diver about to have a new home

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

My professor of naval architecture in college was a crusty old merchant
marine captain whose course was 50 percent naval architecture and 50
percent salty anecdotes. Many of his stories came about because he used to
carry bananas, and when you have a cargo of bananas the slightest delay
becomes a crisis because the load rots within days. I wonder if that is why
bananas are considered bad luck!

Best,

Alec
