You're absolutlely correct! People will think that you are claiming
that the Queen is aboard.

I must admit that that idea has merit...


Anybody who sees a Jolly Roger, will know that it is a joke. Most
people who see a "pilot jack" will be very confused.

A different joke or statement, perhaps. I freely admit to being influenced
by Treasure Island - I read it as a boy and I think the attraction to
sailing was subliminally set back then. I also used to watch 'Daktari' on TV
when I was kid and, when I grew up (a bit) and got a Landrover, it was
painted with Daktari zebra stripes. It's only natural for my boat to be
called 'Hispaniola' and fly a Jolly Roger. :-)


Have you *seen* one? If not, then I'll try to find a link.

Found a pic on the same site I posted other links to.
