WIND WATCHING

MY DIY PROJECT :

FED UP WITH THE COMMENTS : OOOOOH....ARGH

WHERE'S THAT WIND COMING FROM ?

MAKE A FRIEND WITH A CLEVER LITTLE DEVICE......

A WINDICATOR BURGEE

Do you know if the wind you've got, is fluky (uneven wind speed) or that you're on a blow, on open water, information you should know, to make an informed choice. 

You must always use your observational powers, to avoid sailing blindly into a calm patch, whilst carefully watching for ripples on the water, as a guide to where the best wind is located. With the aid of a Windicator Burgee, you can see the direction of the wind, invaluable if racing, good practice, if you're not.

When thermal action is taking place, it can be very hard to observe the wind's movements, unless you're lucky enuff to have, etheric vision.

Below the black tubing, it is best to thread a bead, 

for windicator to sit and rotate on

ANOTHER VERSION

The Wind

by Robert Louis Stevenson

I saw you toss the kites on high

And blow the birds about the sky;

And all around I heard you pass,

Like ladies' skirts across the grass

Oh wind, a blowing all day long,

Oh wind, that sings so loud a song!

I saw the different things you did,

But always you yourself you hid.

I felt you push, I heard you call,

I could not see yourself at all

Oh wind, a blowing all day long!

Oh wind, that sings so loud a song!

O you that are so strong and cold,

O blower, are you young or old?

Are you a beast of field and tree,

Or just a stronger child than me?

O wind, a blowing all day long,

O wind, that sings so loud a song!
