"A navigational aid is any sort of marker which aids the traveler in navigation; the term is most commonly used to refer to nautical or aviation travel. Common types of such aids include lighthouses, buoys, fog signals, and day beacons.
According to the glossary of terms in the United States Coast Guard Light list, an Aid to Navigation is any device external to a vessel or aircraft specifically intended to assist navigators in determining their position or safe course, or to warn them of dangers or obstructions to navigation."
All that laughter released something and the studio became a joyous place after a few grim days. I began to see again. And then I ran out of charcoal, so off to the Studio Store to buy more, and some more paper.

What a hoot! Great remembering J. You sometimes need a circuit breaker don't you and this one seems to have been perfect. I love the bow of the ship that ran aground...
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona, this has become the new touch phrase in our house, mention navigational aids and we howl with laughter, what a gem that man is!
DeleteI was going to say - it's very striking - and I guess that's rather appropriate in the circumstances!
ReplyDeletePerfect phrase I'd say!, J. also mentioned it meant the boat was towing a wreak....there has been a lot of giggling around here!
