Banana Policy PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR FISHING CHARTERS!:
This bit of boating wisdom came with the boat:
It’s common knowledge that Mariners view bananas as bearers of bad luck. The reasons for this and the way that bad luck manifests varies depending on who you talk to but, in the interest of making sure you have a good catch, and a great day out – we’d sooner leave them off-board.
