Lost American Flag

While out today in the winds around Rattlesnake we lost our American flag off the back of our boat. Small flag on a mast and I think it would float. If anyone happens to find it we would love to get it back. Thanks.

I had the same problem, lost 2 or 3 of them. Had flag that mounts into the light socket. Solved the problem by using bungy cord with hooks. Hooked one end to thumbscrew for flag and the other end to a mountable cable tie that was under one of the screws for the light. Haven't had a problem since.

Thanks. Guess I will have to do something like that when I get a new flag. Ours had it's own mount. Maybe a small set screw for the new one.
