Jolly Roger Flag

hey folks -
As they say in the radio business - first time caller, long time
listener....
this is more of a light topic - but I was recently in one of the many
local marine store in my neighborhood for the first time - (there are
quite a few in Seattle).
We happened upon the section of the store that sells flags for your
boat, some serious, some not so... commodore flags, diver flags, and
even jolly roger flags.
My friend and I joked about getting one for my small 18' foot runabout
boat - but we were warned that flying such a flag regardless of size of
boat would garner unwanted attention from coast guard, police, and
fellow boaters. We heeded the warning, but thought it was odd to hear
such a thing in todays times.

Has anyone heard of such a scenario when people flew a jolly roger flag?

I haven't. Especially on an 18' runabout.

A friend of mine has a 26 ft. small cruiser with a tall radio antenna.
On the top of it he has tied on some chicks G-string bikini bottom.
When it gets ratty, he changes it out for another. Seems like a never
ending supply, and, maybe he's been lucky, but no flack from any gov't
authorities.
