here's your odd thought for the day.

If one is supposed to signal distress by turning the flag upside down, what does one do when one's flag has horizontal symmetry?

I'll be pondering this one for a while. :)

From my stint at sea, what we were always told was that flying a flag upside down meant the ship was being overtaken by enemy forces. as for run aground, not at command, adrift, restricited movement ect... There are day shapes, night lights and special flags flown.
