Our Set of Signal Flags!
My wife had told me a number of times that she would like to
have a set of signal flags
for her boat. It was one of those things that went in one ear and out the other
without making “a signal in my head”. My own thought was we have a vhf radio, a
cell phone, a distress flag, and flairs and signal flags were not needed.
Signal flags are not only used for signaling but also for
decorating your boat for special occasions. There is a complete set of rules
that should be followed when using signal flags, and after receiving a set of
flags I was told by the wife that we should and needed to display them
correctly when we used them.
I found more information in Chapman’s on signal flags
than I thought there would be. It really was informative as well as
interesting.
I just wish I had gotten her the set of signal flags that
she had expressed interest in. The flag set was given to us by her X, who said
that it was one thing that my wife had always wanted. *-)
It was a really nice gift. It also signaled to me I need to
listen better to my wife. !!!
