Nah, you're right, it isn't going to break the bank. It is just another little cost among so many little costs. I posted as much for another interesting and educational discussion as for an investigation of the economic "discourtesy".

Right now the plan is to leave Canada at the end of the hurricanes but before the bad North-easters, and take a quick route through Bermuda, BVI to Trinidad and Tobago, followed by 5-6 months of slowly moseying back to Canada. That is well over a dozen flags at $15-40 US each. I wouldn't want to miss an island or harbour that somebody else suggested, just because I didn't have an appropriate flag.

Still, I agree with the posts. Maybe I can make or borrow some of them.

How about signal flags? Anybody use them for more than a display of colours?
