I think this would be a good to review the appropriate maritime signal flags and their meanings:

D - keep clear of me, I am manuevering with difficulty

F - Vessel disabled

G - I require a pilot

K - you should stop your vessel instantly

L - you should stop, I have something important to communicate

O - man overboard

P - (At sea) your lights are out or burning badly

R - the way is off my ship. You may feel your way past me

S - my engines are going full speed astern

U - you are standing into danger

V - I require assistance (not distress)

W - I require medical assistance

X - stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals

N + C - I am in distress

I'm trying to locate the flag signal for "I have many Mardi Gras beads. Please maneuver close aboard." :-)
