Ancient tradition.
Women aboard was also considered to bring bad luck.
Same with bananas and umbrellas today.
Is a T-Top considered an umbrella?
And what about a banana boat? hard luck and trouble all the way around?
The morning we left on our voyage to Florida, my brother's wife supplied a
bunch of bananas as some last minute provisions
..
Horrified, we took them off the boat and, as a joke, put them in the
cockpit of a friend's boat next to us. 2 weeks later I heard he blew an
engine.
