Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Right. I want to go home so we have been prototyping various methods for getting from one island nation (Crete) to another (England)

Method 1: the simple raft.


Method 2: hi-tech pedalo.



Method 3- There's room on my board for 2



Method 4 - an actual ship called Nana, with Nana at the helm. Sadly as it's part of a playground it might not be as seaworthy as we would require on the Bay of Biscay





Method 5 - Evan has his Dolphin 5 badge and can do a whole length without putting his foot down. Is this sufficient?



Method 6 - Crete is the island of Icarus and Daedalus. Are palm tree wings susceptible to volcanic ash?



Icarus played by Dad. Evan as Daedalus.




This is all proof that we tried really really hard to get home.

Yamas!

  1. LOL! Think how much Evan gets to write for "What I did on my holidays" :)

  2. never mind the hapless Icarus, you need a rubber boat (Dan Snow is laying on a flotillas of them to allow you stranded folk to cross the channel)
