It was the sandbars that would be the final stroke of bad luck. Some captains would deliberately go up on the beach, and try to save as many people as possible.

Back 160 years ago, we didn't have global positioning systems and ship-to-shore radio.

All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck -- who keeps right on going -- is the man who is there when the good luck comes -- and is ready to receive it.

With my luck, if I ever invested in General Motors, they'd bust it to Corporal!

It's my turn ... to luck out.

I wish them the best of luck. They have a lot of work ahead of them this coming year.
