New issue, new software for on-line boating magazine
There is at least a little interest at your site in the free on-line
boating publication, Pacific Nor'West Boating. It's available at www.pacnwboat.com The July 1 issue (our fifth) ushers in some new software. Use the up, down, left, and right keys to move around a page. Bumping the top of the window with a mouse will bring up a menu for turning pages, searching the content of the issue, etc. Bumping the bottom of the window will allow a reader to adjust the zoom. And hey, everybody, have a happy and safe Independence Day. Fly that flag proudly- that variety of shapes and colors unites in a way that is far more meaningful than if there were only one shape, one color, or one symbol on the flag. We're a nation of different ideals and opinions, but like the flag we are stitched together to form a whole more perfect than the sum of its parts. :-) |

I know the navy has its superstitions, but really... |

Simply, No. Unless you believe in a state religion and then what "church flag" do you choose and which chaplain of what religion? It must be a "higher ranking" flag, so which religions rank higher? A bit more nautical trivia to support my position: http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/treaty_tripoli.html Article XI, Voted unanimously by the Senate(Nov., 1796) and signed by the President. Again, no. Well lookie here http://www.ehow.com/about_6293240_cu...flag-boat.html |

It is customary to fly a small version of the foreign country's ensign as a courtesy flag after you have cleared customs. The proper location of the courtesy flag is below the starboard spreader on a sailboat or high up on a starboard verticle structure like a radio antenna for mastless powerboats. http://www.landfallnavigation.com/courtesyflags.html We needed 14 different flags for our Caribbean cruise 2 years ago, one of those hidden expenses until you are almost ready to go. and start thinking about last minute details. |

Al least you will have some nice souveneers of your trip to hang up around your pool. The national flag is usually displayed on the fantail. Does that give it a superior position to flags displayed in other locations which might be higher? |
