This was my wife and I second voyage on our 1st cruiser, a '96 25 foot
Starcraft mid-cabin overnighter (appropriately named, "She Said Yes."
Destination was Beacon Rock on the Columbia River Gorge from Portland.
Amazing things....not a breath of wind, nobody at the moorage (do people
work on Tuesday?), the Full Moon (accompanied by Mars and Venus), foliage,
and best of all.....no mechanical breakdowns. (On the maiden voyage, we hit
a sinker log and lost a prop.)

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Lovely pictures, but er........... I think your flag should be mounted on
the stern!
I stand corrected if your Congress has passed a new law about this!

There is no law, merely etiquette, protocol and practice. Saw a photo
recently of a squadron of US Navy vessels, very one of which was flying
the national ensign from a different point. If they can't get it right,
what can the rest of us do?

Hmmm.....never heard this before. Frankly I wanted the Jolly Roger but the
boss had a different idea.

If your navy is anything like our navy, it figures!

As the poster said, it's really etiquette, guess I've been sailing so long I
look on these things as cast in stone!

In our navy, every ship of the same class flies the ensign from exactly
the same spot, unless work is being done on the spot or the ship is out
of routine (no crew). I guarantee it.

If the naval vessel was under way then the ensign would be flown
from the peak of the gaff on the most aft mast. In port they are
displayed on the stern and the jack flown on the bow.

They were underway. Some had the ensign at the stern, some at the
starboard yard and some at the port yard. Really weird and most
noticeable.
