Hanging the flag upside down is (well, was) showing familiarity with the dutch farmers and fishermen, whose business are being shut down by government. You do well that way, as many of the dutch do. The light house is called "Paard van Marken" because it resembles a horse ("Paard"). Very, very nice to see the famous Sam Holmes cruising in my home area, I hope you enjoyed!

If you get chance stop off and do some land sailing, and sail a 3x the speed of the wind. I can recommend going to De Panne in Belgium for this, you can pull into Niewpoort and get the tram down. The are other spots along the french channel coast also, but de panne might the best access on a boat

(I also had no idea about Sailboats having anything to do with Oysters ever!)

Watermen & Skipjacks along the Chesapeake Bay matter. It is sorta true that world is running out of fish and seafood in some places. Modern technology and sport fishing against old school working waterman. With China's commercial fishing fleet of some odd 200+ boats guarded by a "Coast Guard" cutter or two can and has intimidated some nation's fishing fleets on occasion. See west coast of South America- Ecuador, Chile & Peru. China can't feed its population- so international waters or in your coastal waters don't really matter to them. Unless you have a big enough naval presence to push them out they're gonna stay there until they have fished the place out thoroughly that leaves nothing for that nation's fisherman to claim. Keep an eye on China's commercial fishing fleet operations if they just happen to show up off your coastline in the future.

I actually work in this sailing school (les Glénans) in a town called Paimpol and we spend a lot of time around this great piece of coastline.

re gadgets, fairly simple to throw together a nmea to wifi bridge using an esp32. you can wire up a whole bunch of devices and simply multiplex the messages to the other wires as well as wifi/udp. if bending the rules a bit and going ttl rather than rs 422, not much is needed in terms of components either. testing soon with vhf, ais, plotter and depth sounder all wired via one of these. the nmea messages over wifi can either be picked up by some compatible app, but also something like signalk/opencp running on a raspberry pi for instance
