Dec to Jan Flag Incident report

The international flag police have reported 2 flag incidents on the motor yacht in question during the period and are taking the cases seriously, sources said yesterday.

Whilst on passage to St Maartin from the USA, It was revealed that officers on board appeared flustered and looked concerned. Our sources tell us that there was flags all over the bridge and a rumour spread amongst the crew that the Netherlands Antilles flag might not be on board! "This is a very worrying incident" Jack Union, the chief officer of the flag police, said this morning.
Mr carlisle, second officer was reported to offer, "We might get away with plain Dutch flag?" Mr Union, turned bright red when hearing this report, our sources at the police station told us. 'He spluttered on his coffee and raged loudly, "NO NO NO! Not the plain Dutch flag!!! Are they imbeciles over there? Who is in Charge of this bunch of Numpties?" Our source revealed.
As usual the Captain was not available to answer charges against the vessel which is currently along side, in the Island of Antigua. Mr Packham, First officer narrowly averted serious charges and probable imprisonment when he managed somehow to find the very unique flag at the last minute. "The whole crew were tired and I have to admit to flagging a bit my self. I knew it was on board somewhere" the triumphant officer said to reporters today.

"We will be watching this lot closely!" Jack Union, chief of flag police said this afternoon. It was also reported that the vessel arrived in Antigua with no Courtesy flag for that Island. When asked, Mr Packham had NO Comment and looked up to the mast where the flag was flying proudly and correctly on the starboard, out board halliard.
Our mole on the Island reported a panicked telephone call to Janes Yacht Services on the morning of the yachts arrival. "Dock officials were probably smoking Cannabis and tending to their Rasta hats so it is difficult to get an accurate report" another source told us. "Mr Packham has worked with Jane before and her presence at the gangway upon the vessels arrival can be accounted for in many ways." A captain from a neighboring yacht vouched.
"I did see something thrown towards Mr Packham who was standing on the stern of the vessel as it arrived in Antigua but women often throw undergarments at this popular officer when he arrives in port, so the evidence is slim" another source revealed.

On arriving at the small wooden offices of Janes Yacht services the lady they call Jane was reported as wearing a light blouse and no Bra! We have to assume that Mr Packham is being hounded by the local press on this matter as there is no local law against women throwing undergarments at boats or crew, in the harbours of the Caribbean. So all charges against Mr Packham and the vessel in question have been dropped.
"I still don't trust this lot" said Jack Union, when asked for his comment later today.
