Texas 2009: Juan Sebastian de Elcano: Marine Signal Flags

Marine Signal Flags (Fore) Marine Signal Flags (Aft)

In the afternoon, they'd put up some marine signal flags. Wow, I'd seen plenty of marine signal flags from puzzle-based treasure-hunt games, many of which used codes. But here was a chance to use the flags for real. I'd brought a code "cheat sheet" with me on this trip, but it just had Morse, Braille codes, no marine signal flags. Thus, I was reduced to looking up the code on my mobile phone's browser.

Apparently, real marine signal flags make less sense than our puzzle hunt codes.
