Far-seeing boats
 
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.

Eyes? evil spirits?

I put one of those oval "W 04" stickers on mine to keep away the
demoncrats.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

My son...where have you been? Your mother has been worried about you.....
and you want to paint large, soulful brown eyes on your boat....

Yeah... eyes. I've seen them on the prows Greek fishing boats. Sorry
to disrupt the political discussion with a sailing related topic. It
won't happen again.

I don't think it matters much how they look, as long as the boat can
see.

Uysless:

I put large fake styrofoam breasts on the front of my boat, I got them from
Babs, slightly used. They make great docking cushions and will poke the eyes
out of anyone who approaches. Maybe Katy has an extra pair just for you!
Welcome back, the newsgroup is coming back to life!

See that Katy, Uysless returns, the Nav pokes his head in. I await the Grand
Entry of the Good Captain himself!

o heck
for a change try some real ones on the front of your boat
not only can they poke out eyes, they behave differently with varying sea
state.
and they are more preferable as docking cushions
gf.
