[Fishwhisperer 180]

Hello V-20 community,
I wish to thank you all for making it possible for me to be part of this group. I get the impression that if I was stuck out on the water, I could count on any one of you to lend assistance.
Just a quick thought...
As a young boy it was my job, before we got underway, to get the flag from below and place it in the mount on the transom. Only then would I tend lines. Is this no longer the custom?
