National and courtesy flags

We purchased our boat in at Petersburg, but we registered it with the Canadian coast guard.

When we leave the US for the Bahamas, what flags do we have to fly?

My understanding is that while underway I need to fly the Canadian flag, and a courtesy flag for the country that we are cruising in.

There are lots of articles on flag etiquette but I just need a real simple: when do I fly what flag, and how big does the flag need to be?

If anyone can break it down that would be appreciated.

Charted Courses And Chance Currents - The Log of One Year Along the Voyage of Life - More of them, fewer of us

Posters Preface*: I recently was given memoirs that were written by my Great Grandfather, Stanley Dalbec. I am working on transitioning this to a word document and wanted to share the stories with this group as I found them highly interesting and gives the reader a good understanding of what life was like for an officer in the Navy during WW2. Please enjoy.*

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

More of them, fewer of us

We arrived in Chester, PA, on February 2, 1942. While I herded my crew through the paperwork trail of Com4 (FOURTH Naval District), the Sun Oil shipyard in Marcus Hook, and onto the Texas Sun, Lolette went house hunting in Chester.

Chester was a merchant marine town, and at the time to them the Navy was an outfit from somewhere else. They could recognize an enlisted sailor suit, but not an officer’s uniform. Once, when I bought tickets at a movie house that offered lower prices to servicemen, I was asked what branch of the service I was in.

So, when she inquired at rooming houses about rentals, and said she was a Navy officer’s wife, she was met with some skepticism. One rooming house lady told her, β€œwhen you show up with your husband and your baggage, we’ll discuss it”. She got half a block down the street before the implication hit her. She didn’t go back there!

Chester is serval miles southwest of Philadelphia, on the bank of the Delaware River. Sun (Oil Co.) Station where the Texas Sun was berthed, is at Marcus Hook, a few miles farther down the river.

We reported aboard and were settled in. I had a cabin in the officer’s quarters in the midships deckhouse, on the main deck. This is the standard arrangement on merchant ships. The gun crew was given quarters in the ship’s crew space.

The Master of the Texas Sun was Capt. Olson, one of the Sun Oil Co.’s most senior and highly respected ship captains.

During World War I and into the early 1920’s, the United States built a large numbe

Canon & References: Lower Decks 2x10 - "First First Contact"
  • Mike McMahan has revealed on twitter that the USS Archimedes is not an Excelsior, but rather Obena-class, but I think it's apparent to everyone where that design lineage began. The USS Excelsior first appeared in "The Search for Spock", was Captained by Sulu in "The Undiscovered Country", and the spaceframe was a Starfleet staple for over a century, including the Enterprise B.

  • Archimedes was Greek mathematician who may or may not have created a heat ray using mirrors to defend Syracuse.

  • u/kincubba points out that Philippa Georgiou served aboard a USS Archimedes as a science officer in β€œThe Brightest Star”.

  • Sonya Gomez was an ensign aboard the USS Enteprise and appeared in two episodes, "Q Who" and "Samaritan Snare". In true lower decks fashion, she spilled hot chocolate on Captain Picard, and helped to rescue Geordi LaForge from the Pakleds. A proud tradition.

  • Side note: some fans have speculated that Captain Freeman may have served aboard the Enterprise D as well, explaining why she and Mariner are so familiar with Riker. Freeman calls Gomez an old friend in her log, adding a bit more support for the theory.

  • u/OpticalData points out that the sound of the tool Rutherford is using at the start of the episode has the same sound effect as something called a "sonic screwdriver" used by a Doctor Who. I don't remember any doctors named Who across the Star Trek franchise, and MA is also turning up a blank. Unrelated, how many seasons of "Lower Decks" do you think we'll go before Gary Seven and his companion, Isis, show up?

  • Rutherford asks Boimler to take his shift in Cetacean Ops. Cetacean Ops was first mentioned via the computer aboard the alternate timeline Enterprise D in "Yesterday's Enterprise", and alluded to in the prime timeline when Geordi tried to distract a group of Ferengi by offering to show them the dolphins aboard ship in "The Perfect Mate".

  • Boimler is obsessed with Captain Freeman Day to the point where he apparently recreates the Captain Picard Day banner from "The Pegasus". As Picard himself pointed out in that episode, "It's for the children," but isn't Boimler truly a child at heart?

  • "We could end up with some weirdo with a riding crop." Mariner is of course referring to the CO of the Excelsior in "The Search for Spock", Captain Styles and his swagger stick. Styles failed to catch Kirk and company stealing the USS Enterprise to search for Spock, and he was never seen or mentioned again.

  • Rutherford

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
