      “lol why would that be OH SHIT”

      Had to look up what the signal flags are and mean because that wasn’t my job on the boat. I believe they have CODE/ANSWER hoisted above HOTEL. The latter means Pilot Aboard, in this usage meaning they have a harbor pilot aboard, which is someone from the local port authority who is an expert in navigating the harbor or channel. This is a requirement of basically every harbor and navigable waterway worldwide. Idk what the CODE/ANSWER means in this context
