Chuckle’s Signal Flags
Prep for our cruise of the forth has been
ongoing for some time, it is now my full time interest for the next few weeks,
before we leave I have a number of things I want to make for us and especially
the wee ones to use in our navigation. Leadline for measuring depth and seabed
nature, chip log for speed in knots and signal flags, all direct sensory connections
to our physical environment. This is fundamental navigation, and natural to
children, GPS is not, and my commitment to make these items beautifully and
give them to the children to use, document the experience and provide them in
presentation boxes for selection in open art exhibitions is to simply promote
the need to keep hold of the simple things in life and mistrust complex
technology.
