Hi.fellow Boatie or anyone/
I know that maritime law forbids flying the skull & crossbones making it a pirate vessel in international waters, but at what penalty now we are out of old Elizabethan times.
The flags are available at chandlers for use as a bit of fun, and I stick one up when mooring on the inland waterways, along with the fake miniature cannon on the roof.
Surely the authourities will see the funny side, and not lock me in the brig I hope.
I also sometimes fly the red ensign, to show that I am freindly, which I am, but so did Sir Walter when acting as a licensed pirate for the crown.
I have a purple one with a potatoe emblem in the corner, for no particular reason.
What do you reckon ?
