@rek Cool! 1. Possible typo on the caption for "[c]an I come alongside?". 2. How do you store your flags for easy access? 3. Have y'all had any many opportunities to use flags to communicate in your travels? @tty @rek for some reason i don't fully understand, two sets. i'm not very good a remembering them though. you web site might help :) @rek @chainik Oh wow. This reference is cool - I had no idea any of these except O and Q existed. Never seen them (except Q, which I carried) on the water in WA or BC, and they're not taught as part of the semi-required boater's ed curriculum in WA (the only flags you get taught in that course are the red and white diver-down flag (not the A flag), and the 'murica flag being required on your stern if you leave US waters) 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. Devine: "You know, you could have just spelled 'waves'. I mean, there's already a rabbit." 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. |
@rek Are you interested in a) possible corrections, or b) additional questions?
