Lots of things can happen on the ocean so I am going to play it safe and chuck banannas with Capt Ron. He even had a No Banannas sign made and hung on the Point Loma.

I've heard that he would come grab it right out of the hands of the person with the Banana. The customer's eyes are all, "What the Heck?" Ron did not take any chances with that stuff.

What I have read is that back in the pirate days, the pirate ships could trace and attack the passenger ships which have thrown out banana peels.

The current would carry the banana peels and the peels would act as bread crumbs leading the pirates to the civilian ships.>>

The bug theory makes sense too.>>
