Nah, Cory, for Newt it would be the "stars and bars" better know as the Confederate flag and it is there big as possible. Makes our household interesting being I'm a diehard Yank from up North

I was going to say the Stars and Bars,but changed my mind. I have Confederate leanings myself.

The Stars and Bars, first edition. The one on the boat is the Confederate battle flag which they used in the field because the one below was too confusingly similar to the Stars and Stripes. Sorry, just thought I'd clarify.

A few years ago at Herne Bay in Kent, someone moored their boat at high tide to the pier and went for a liquid lunch.

 

When they returned, the tide was out and a 20ft day cruiser was dangling clear of the water by it's painter.

 

Well, at least the knot tying was sound.
