Smile Maryland State Flag
Did you ever notice how many boaters fly the Maryland state flag UPSIDE DOWN?

We surely saw a bunch of them this weekend!

No surprise. Maryland is a fairly reliable "blue" state. (g)

I'm going to PO a few here, but I don't fly the Maryland flag at all.

SailorMitch will become famous soon enough
In case anyone cares, here's the flag in question. Note how easy it would be to fly it upside down.



(And I cheated by putting a little arrow on mine so that I know which end is up.)

Certainly, that's true for the western shore. The Eastern Shore is a different story...

Political considerations aside, I thought I'd read somewhere that it was never appropriate to fly any state flag.

Not that I plan to strictly adhere to proper flag etiquette, cause I'm running up the "skull and bones" as soon as I get around to putting up my flag halayard.
