Some weeks ago, I was invited to a sailing school inauguration party: laughter, sailing theory games, and alcohol—because sailors always like to be associated with pirates
Walking down the old brick corridor between the small library and the scholars’ classroom, I saw the usual school prints with nautical maps, old sail-race photos in black and white, points-of-sail diagrams, postcards from Sardinian harbours—the usual good things you find in such charming seaside places.
But there was also a page from the sailing-boat licence course book depicting the cardinal-mark buoys, which indicate where to pass when you need to avoid a hazardous spot, a rock, or another obstacle at sea. They also featured flashing lights for night navigation.
Useful, nice to see and especially it was missing from my LWAP Sailing Poster. Inside the bars are represented the time intervals between quick and long flashlights which are used on the buoys as night signals.
Then here it is the new version, with various stilistic fixes also.
