Well, I used today as an excuse to break out the code flags my wife bought me for Christmas 4 years ago. For all you nautical purists, I know: only at anchor on national holidays, a parade, or maiden launch. Well, sometimes I think it should just be done because its fun. I also know it's supposed to be from the waterline at the anchor the the water line at the stern.
Well.. The mast isn't high enough to fly them all, so I also string them along the shrouds.
The little guy really enjoyed it all. Photo is a little blurry, my wife took it through the kitchen window.

Cool. ;)
Nicely done.
KPL, These are great shots and not very blurry.
Thanks. skip.
Kevin,
I was the Navigator on the Enterprise and on IKE. The engineers dressed the ship on holidays, but I think yours looks every bit as impressive.
BZ!

Just Beautiful!!
I enjoyed the other shots also...
You've got a great spot if that's the view from your kitchen window... WOW!
Enjoy

Thanks for all the comments. It was a lot of fun. My son is really looking forward to the 4th of July so we can do it again!
Dale-
Yes, we are very fortunate to live where we do. We moved here 7 years ago when I was in the Air Force as a ROTC instructor. I was medically discharge and hired by Clarkson University 2 years later. We've decided to stay so we moved to the lake 2 years ago. I think this is the last place in the world with affordable waterfront. (waterfront homes range from 80's for a small camp to $300k for a 3,000 sq ft. newer home.... we're on the lower end of that range :) )
It's nice to pull into the driveway at the end of the day and say "wow, I really live here?!?"
