When approached by a rather anally retentive yachtsman
asking about flag etiquette whilst touring the Netherlands
recently, a Dutch harbour official is reported to have
replied "You can fly a pair of ladies knickers from the
mast for all I care." (I *do* so like the Dutch ...)
There's nothing in the Sailing Directions about flying
a bicycle wheel ..... Let's hope it isn't a local
recognition signal for "Supertanker Mooring Buoy" !
