Race Committee lost the A & B flags in a bar after a grueling TBF Race.

I'm told that's pretty close but the details are fuzzy.
Here's a funny bit from the RRS
"...the protest committee is never a party."
B is a protest flag, A means diver down. Oops, maybe I count as an old timer.
Using those definitions, B is the Powder flag. (The R/C had to start with C because they were taking a powder when A and B should have started.) And we should all be flying D.
I bought a set of code flags at my favorite retail store because the bag was ripped and it was half-off. It's fun using them to "dress ship" for some events.
I think the RC may be in the market for some new flags, these are all I could find..Attachment 1189
So Bob, that's what was missing for the cruise to Redwood City. Your weren't really quite into cruise mode. You needed the flags! Or at least, you needed to "dress ship" when you got to the Sequoia YC. I wish you had, because I might have been reminded to breakout mine, that have never been out of the bag. A missed opportunity.... Next time?
