Echo Quebec Zulu

I'm a born and bread Midwesterner, but have always been convinced that I was a fisherperson in a past life. (See: my Maritime Nonfiction section). Someday I will live in Maine. I'm sure it's all because I loved this book as a young reader.

Naturally I love these Nautical Flag Patches from Best Made Co. As part of the International Code of Signals, each flag stands for a letter and a corresponding maritime warning. Wouldn't it be cool to spell out a monogram or secret code on the outside of a sturdy canas tote?

A fun diversion: Encode any word or 14 character phrase into nautical flag signals with this handy translator.
