That's the idea, I want her to know where she's going for those times
when I don't! I was hoping for some sort of traditional eye symbol...
perhaps an eye of horus, although I don't know that I've seen one on a
boat. I suppose I'll come up with something.

Question to the group:

What kind of eyes does one paint on a boat to ward of evil
(bob)spirits?

References to books or links would be helpful. I'm looking for an
image that I can paint on my boat. Hopefully like one might find in
the Med or Persian Gulf. Web surfing hasn't brought up much for me.

btw, sorry bobsprit.... couldn't resist.

So what kind of boat have you built? Did you build it at the boat building
school you went to?

Have a look at these sites. Everywhere that you go in Turkey, you see
ceramic tiles that are designed to ward off the evil eye. They are in the
pavements, walls and floors.
