Yes, our boys set out on their first adventure on a Friday, that was the
9th of January 1761. Bad luck, at least that's what Collier Sailors
believe. Day of Christ execution. 
And, our boys begin their line on April 5th, that's Good Friday. Or it
was. Today it is a week after Good Friday for most Catholics, but for
some of us it won't be here for nearly a month. Last year the calendars
were aligned. When Dixon and Mason were starting their line West, nine
days seperated them. In human precision indeed.
