rhr1956,

do not listen to the above posters.... it is terrible luck.. it is crawling toward your boat... but... take photos of any stuff you can salvage... send the photos to me... and I will tell you what physical stuff you have to send to me to insure you have good luck...

But seriously, as others have said, what is wrong with recycling.... ?

Mother Nature shall be happy......

It's only bad luck if you think it's bad luck. You can be a victim of your own misguided prejudices.

I agree with H20, please send all bronze parts to me. I will then sacrifice a Old Town canoe (surplus from a kid's camp) at sunset on the Pacific. If I see a flash of green Neptune will have shown his approval to use whatever is left for your boat.
