<p>[QUOTE=&quot;namvet4, post: 829155, member: 23066&quot;]As a boy in the early to late &#039;50&#039;s I enjoyed being an adventurous &quot;buccaneer&quot;. I cobbled together my own wooden pirate ships . . .And true to the maritime tradition, I placed a &#039;silver&quot; coin in the keel as an offering to Neptune. . .My Dad worked in a bank and he would bring me a shinny new &quot;silver&quot; coin whenever I asked for it.( As I remember it started out as dollars but became dimes and nickels as Dad realized what I was doing with them!)</p><p>&nbsp;You see, I was a great pirate, but lousy navigator and wrecked a number of my ships in the streams and ponds.&nbsp; :hammer:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Years later when my daughter bought her PWC, I embedded a silver coin in the keel; I still honored the tradition not wishing to annoy the sea gods! LoL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
