Don’t worry, the peggings will continue until morale improves.

I know you're all culturally sophisticated people and aware of this, but just to make sure:
today is 'Weltfischbrötchentag' (International Fish Bun Day)

I am pretty pumped about this Canadian flag I received so I thought I would share here. I signed up to receive a flag that flew over our parliament buildings in Ottawa, Canada. This one flew on the Peace Tower. They change the flag every day and give the flag to someone in the country. I signed up about 20 years ago and got the flag this past week. The wait is now over 100 years if you sign up today. It’s giant and I have no idea what I’ll do with it, but it’s a pretty cool story.

Thanks @Giles !

@deanclean That is really a BIG flag. Been to Ottawa once, the flag looks a lot smaller when viewed from the ground! Wouldn't know what to do with it either... Here in Germany, we are a bit hesitant to fly our flags like everyone else.

I understand your predicament @tody I feel strange flying a flag too. I don’t know why.

studying for my SRC. Dayskipper theory starts Saturday. Exciting times
And out at sea, practising what we learnt....
One of the things that we did not learn, but I put into practice today, is what to do when you are 15 miles offshore and you're knees interfere with the engine ignition switches and both engines "fail".....

I was playing around in the lake one day and shut the boat off so that we could swim around for a bit. After we had finished, I went to turn the boat back on and nothing happened. Full power, accessories were working, but the motor would not restart. I set in the middle of the lake trying to figure out why it wouldn't restart and accidentally hit the throttle with my knee which made the lever click into the neutral position. Turned the key again and everything fired back up...
The boat nor I have not had that issue since.
