Wish your brother-in-law a Happy Birthday with a card featuring a beautiful water and wintry scene with two ships passing by. Some elements by HF-Projekte. Just for fun: Whistling on a ship is considered bad luck as it can bring about strong winds. In fact, the only person allowed to whistle is the cook as it means he is not eating the food. Cats bring good luck. British and Irish sailors would often adopt a black cat, which might sound counterintuitive as in some cultures a black cat is considered an evil omen. However, there is some logic to it as cats hunt down and get rid of rodents, who usually live on ships and might chew on ropes or eat food.
