People with homes near the ocean often decorate with cool nautical items.
Of course, to satisfy my curiosity, I had to snap a photo of this house, and later look up “International Maritime Signal Flags” on Wikipedia to see what it says.

I am operating astern propulsion.”
Actually, I am sure the owner of this house is just spelling the family name.
