    I know, but I can’t get a better image. The video quality is so bad!

    Do not 3. _____ til ye be past the treacherous....

    Mental Notes to self: Don't overthink. The only unusual constant is the boat.

    Is he... stopping? Making port? Dallying? Coasting? COASTing? Changing Course? Do Not Change Course? Can it be two words? Do not... fly colours? Show colours?

    Hmmm...

    The word is anchor. That boat is not anchoring.

    someone has a good picture ?

  • magearchivist

    Solved. Just stare at each flag with the list next to you and decipher it.

    @wartv That's true, but the flag at the stern of the boat in this shot appears to be the Danish flag, rather than an international signal flag (closest actual one would be "4", but that's an even diagonal cross).

    At 12:20 and 12:21 there is a boat, but I can't tell what it's occupants are doing.

  • SnowBodhi

    It's alright for you young 'uns with your good eye sight. I can barely see the boat never mind the flags.

    For the 3rd clue I think differently with the way the sentence is turning.

    "Do not .... til ye"

    I first thougt of the name so "Point"? I was like "do not point"? But meah...

    What do yo see on this coords? A road? Some people? But what is on the floor? A yellow line! And a yellow line is (in a majority of countries) "do not stop for any reason". Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not. ;)

    What do ya know, being in the navy is actually paying off for my this riddle quest ;)

    @zhaph I just deciphered it with the code, might be a little hard to see. I highly suggest using the live cam (http://southernmostpointwebcam.com/)! The flag you mean seems red with a white cross, but it´s a yellow one ;)

    @wartv Yeah, just noticed that too ;)

    It's kind of hard to make out, but there are ten flags on the boat.

  • SnowBodhi

    Would help if some of the flags were hung the right way up LOL. The man in the boat clearly doesn't have a naval background. Sounds like some of our crew. He's going to crash and sink any minute.

    Got it! But I now need to rest my eyes till the next full moon!

    The webcam cannot give a clear enough picture for the flags - however, I did see a videocamera setup on the corner. I suspect we might get a better image soon.

    Someone living in Key West can take a clear photo ASAP?

    you guys don't need a clear enough picture to understand what's happening at 12:20

    The webcam is absolute c**p, but you can definitely figure it out by watching him go past a few times.

    Yeah, if you know what to look for it shouldn't take more than a few minutes tbh. It's pretty pixelated but it's doable.

    @atinyspark22 Yeah, I know how to decipher it, I just can't see the flags clear enough to tell.

    Took so long to figure out what the flags were but got it now :D good luck fellow hunters

    Clever... this has to be the best ARG/scavenger hunt I've seen in years...

    Finally got it. Not to hard once you decipher each flags letter. Good luck my fellow pirates.

  • SnowBodhi

    I finally got there in the end. Could only see 4 of the flags but it was enough to confirm the word. Now I'm blind though. Please can I have a banana as compensation? I probably shouldn't have stopped eating vitamin C a few weeks ago for that authentic pirate experience!

    Same... flags are blurry and moving. I think the first four flags are KROP, but doesn’t make sens.

    Yeah, it's easy to mistake some of the flags, but there are ten of them, and if you'll look carefully the words will soon come out :)

    It's getting fun! 8D

    Watching this cam makes me want to go swimming so much. Beautiful waters.

  • Subinagui85

    Indeed, very clever! Feels like it's becoming a little too collaborative to be a competition but it's nice to see things being confirmed, I suppose!

    I think I found out by deduction.
