The Blue Peter is flown
A 'Blue Peter' flag is a blue flag with white center to signal that a ship is ready to sail.
A Blue Peter is a maritime signal flag used by ships to indicate that they are about to leave port. It is a solid blue flag with a white rectangular field, and when hoisted, it signals to crew and port authorities that the vessel is preparing to set sail. The flag is part of the International Code of Signals, which facilitates communication at sea. Additionally, it can also signify that a ship is ready to take on cargo or is seeking assistance.

A vessel that sounds the same fog signal whether underway or at anchor is a sailing vessel. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), a sailing vessel under sail alone is required to sound one prolonged blast followed by two short blasts. This signal is used to indicate its presence and position in reduced visibility conditions, regardless of its status.

"Anchors aweigh" is a nautical phrase that signifies that a ship's anchor has been lifted from the seabed and is ready for departure. It traditionally marks the moment when a vessel is about to set sail, indicating that it is no longer tied to the harbor. The phrase is often associated with naval traditions and has been popularized in songs and maritime culture.
The expression "point' in sailing refers to the ability to sail into the wind. If a vessel points well it means that it can sail more into a head wind than a vessel that doesn't point well.

"Under sail" refers to a boat or ship that is being propelled primarily by its sails rather than by an engine. This term indicates that the vessel is using wind power to navigate through the water. When a boat is "under sail," it is typically harnessing the force of the wind to move, making sailing a popular and traditional method of maritime travel.
