Some of us coming to Friday Harbour will be from Canada and others from the US will be going to Canada after the gathering.

Does anyone know the proper flag protocol when cruising in another country?

I think I am supposed to fly both the Canada flag and an American flag. I think my own country should be bigger, but I'm not sure which one is supposed to fly higher or maybe it doesn't matter.

I do not have an American flag and they aren't for sale at my local store so I am wondering if someone would like to trade a Canadian flag for an American flag.

I think I just need a small US flag and I can bring a small Canadian flag to trade.

From what I understand, fly the current country's flag (where you are physically located), higher than your home flag. IE, I did a little research about this earlier, and this is how I'm going to fly flags while I am in Canada. My US ensign will be flown in it's normal location on the flagstaff at the boats stern. I have a Canadian Flag (which is just a tad bit larger, only because the US and Canada don't seem to have the same size flags...) that I will fly from the mid point of my 8' VHF antenna that is mounted on my roof. I think Dr. Bob is a lot more experienced about this, and hopefully he'll chime in. Hopefully I'm doing it right this time. Smile Colby

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend, and Mike, thanks for the heads up regarding shore power. I guess I'll need to leave my 50" TV and other power draining toys at home.

The weather here last week was enviable even for August, but this week will be cooler with highs in the lower 60's and a rain chance of 35 to 40 per cent. Or so they say at this writing. I plan to arrive Thursday.

No one gets to up set.
The Country your in Goes highest.
Yours below if you wish.
If you don't have country visiting don't fly any.

The flag police will not get you.

However, immigration will want to see your registration in both countries.
Unless you Nexus and phone.

A few years ago I saw a Canadian flag in a grocery store in Campbell River that was just the right size for my CD 16. Unfortunately it was part of a swizzle stick and didn't look like it would hold up in the weather.

It's looking like a Nordic will crash the party.

I have new gas tanks (me were stolen), new steering, a place to park my van and trailer in Cowichan Bay, and I'm on my way to buy new spark plugs and other necessities. Then it looks like I will be ready to go.

I hadn't used my boat in almost two years and mechanics are difficult to find at this time of year, so I am thrilled it is all coming together.

So, weather permitting I will arrive at Friday Harbour on Friday morning. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Very Happy Very Happy Smile Cool Razz Teeth Smile CoolSmile

C-Gypsy, that's great you can make it. And Nordic Guy, do we know you? I think we'll need to vote on that one.

I will be joining the brats this weekend. Searun will not be making the trip as my sister and I will be camping at San Juan County Park. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I am at Roche Harbour bouncing around at the customs dock. Any idea what the water is like between here and Friday Harbour?

I live on Guemes Island, so I am in a position to decide to go or not to go at the last minute. During the last 2 days, as I watch/read the weather forecasts, I figured I was going to punt on going to the CBGT. However, I now plan to leave here about 2pm and arrive FH about 4pm.

This weather system has been strange. It's been off and on here on Guemes. Several Small Craft Advisories exist nearby. It's been pouring at times in Seattle. The mountains are full of bad weather. But the San Juans Islands to my west seem to be in a pocket of good weather except maybe for excessive wind. Current forecast is that the winds will die down starting about noon (except maybe in the Straits). Weather for the weekend looks pretty good for FH and environs.

Latest says small craft advisory until 1400 hours today with winds W to SW 15 to 30 knots. No es bueno...

Just took a short stroll. Gonna call this one another success...and it's barely underway!

2019 Friday Harbor C-Brat Dock Walk

Just H dock - there are plenty of other C-Brat stragglers elsewhere in the marina. And more to come, I'm sure.
