I've been told (by an international delivery skipper) that it is proper 
to display the crew's national flag from the port-side mast, opposite to 
the courtesy flag of the country you're currently visiting (on the 
starboard side).  The vessel's flag-of-origin should be flown from the 
stern.

Lots of places to fly lots of flags!  And that doesn't even count any 
signal/alphabet flags you might be using!
