The first two pages available cover how to communicate using the International Code of Signals, and flag semaphore.

A rabbit waving hand flags at another passing boat. The text reads: "it is also possible to send signals by flag semaphore."

Added a page on Rabbit Waves about using Day Shapes to communicate to other vessels during daylight hours.

Flying the N and C signal flags together communicates distress, as does flying a square flag and a ball shape.

rabbitwaves.ca/site/day_shapes

Some information about using day shapes to communicate that your vessel is in distress.

When in distress,signal using the N and C flags.

Another visual way to communicate distress during daylight hours, say one is lacking signal flags, is to fly a square flag above/below a ball shape (anything resembling a ball). This is known as a Day Shape.
An image showing the different messages encoded in day shapes. A turnip-shaped sailboat is flying a single fall, to mean that it is at anchor.
"Day shapes are signals raised by a vessel during daylight hours to indicate their status to other vessels. The signals consists of geometric shapes, a sphere, a cyclinder, a diamond and a cone.
When comined together, the shapes communicate different messages:
A ball means "at anchor"
An inverted cone means "Under sail & Power"
etc... the rest of the test falls out of frame.

@alech nop, but I just looked it up :D!

Devine: "You know, you could have just spelled 'waves'. I mean, there's already a rabbit."
Me: :neofox_think_owo: "Why didn't I think of that..."

Currently putting together a page on "communicating in Morse Code" for Rabbit Waves.

It'll be done before the end of the month. In the meantime, here are some very adorable rabbit dits and dahs.

The International Morse Code is a way to communicate that consists of short and long sounds that can penetrate interference with greater quality than spoken words.
The sounds are encoded, and expressed as:
Dots, or Dits (with illustration of a white rabbit coiled into a tight ball, resembling a dot)
and
Dashes, or Dahs (with illustration of a white rabbit outstreched horizontally, resembling a dash)

@tty glad you like them ^^, looking at them makes me smile.

With this project, I get to draw all of my favorite sea birds ^____^...

An anthropomorphised red-footed booby (Sula sula) wearing a black cap and coat with a fuzzy color, next to it are a few chinese characters  and numbers.

@rek a bit of a Jean Reno flavour to it. Fun!

@kboyd haha XD... not intentional, but so true

It took me a little longer than expected, but I completed the Rabbit Waves page for Morse Code!

Below is an illustration for the sub-page about signaling Morse with flags.

rabbitwaves.ca/site/morse.html

There are images of rabbits holding Oscar flags, and using them to signal morse code. For "dah" a rabbit holds two flags outward horizontally at arms length, for "dit" a rabbit holds two flags up over their head, to signal the separation of dits and dahs a rabbit crosses two flags downward in front of their body, to signal the separation of letters/groups/words the rabbit holds the two flag forward apart from each other, and the last signal consisting of a rabbit waving two flags about its head in circles is used to make a request for repetition(if by the receiving station) or to erase signals(if made by the transmitting station).
