I'm slow but not that slow!:biggrin:
I hope these pictures do it justice. As you can see, I'm no photographer. That's my son's gig.
Look in your emails or PMs for tracking numbers as I have shipped all the orders that I have recieved money for. There are plenty more for anyone getting in late but would still like a couple. Hint hint.:rolleyes:
Skip
By the way, I am impressed with the quality and appearance of the flags. They are much nicer than the BoatUs flag and the clarity of the printing is much nicer. I was concerned about the printing process early on but have found that it was unnecessary. The flags will probly fly straight out by themselves or nearly so as they have enough body in the fabric. Again I the they look great and will make us proud. Skip the Burgee Boy
P.S. A lot of other guys have put a lot of effort into these burgees. To name the ones that I know of: Islander, Kurt, Grreatdog, Gregh and a few more whose names slip my mind. If you are one of them, let me have it now, don't what until I'm not expecting it please:redface:

That is what I was goning to ask. Bow, Stern, Outrigger???:confused:

Normally a burgee is flown from the bow. The American flag is always flown from the stern. However, these burgees are so nice they will look good anywhere you fly them! Thanks so much Skip- Great Job!

I guess I will need some kind of clamp on flag poll to go on the bow rail. What do you recomend?
Check out this site concerning proper flag flying.:biggrin: No rules just customs. Something like manners but different.

Got mine! Very nice. Thanks a bunch Thomas. I'll take a look at the burgee flying site.
Mike
Oh, I see there are no rules. An outrigger pole seems like a likely site for me.

Mine has arrived and looks great. Thanks to everyone for their efforts. I want to make one comment to everyone. Skip fronted all the money for this endeavor. He should not have to eat a bunch of unsold Burgees. I feel if he has lots of extra after a month or two, it would be the right thing to do to each buy another one. So not to leave him to have to wall paper his garage with Burgees.

Skip,
Got mine a few days ago. Perfect! I appreciate all that you, Greg, Tony, Kurt, and anybody else involved went through to make this happen.
Fox, if it gets to that, I'd be proud to paper my garage with them. Sure would beat the sh!+ out of the decor in there now! I've posted pics of my garage. After viewing, several members left our site, sold their boats, and bought outboards, just to distance themselves. To all that remain, sorry. :redface:
Anyway, a big thanks!
Mike

Hmm, My garage has a junk yard décor. Maybe I could change it to garage sale décor. It would be a big improvement ! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Skip, I'll try reaching you this way. This is a test. I want to purchase a burgee. How?

I wanted to buy two more and hang them on a belt to make a Shammy Loin cloth. but, the wife said "HELL NO!!!!!!!!!":biggrin:
I suggested perhaps I needed two for the front and she just laughed. I cant get no respect round here. :frown:

Good point!!! Had not thought that far ahead. :confused:
BUY ONE TWO SIDED AND SPLIT THE SEAMS AND NOW YOU HAVE UNDIES, GOOD SIDE OUT. JUST AN IDEA :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
EEEIIIYYY!!!
A thong burgee - OMG! The mere thought of a cultist's hairy arse hanging out boggles the mind! :frown: :confused:
Now, if this is destined for some fair lassie's nether parts, the prospect is far more attractive! :tongue: :biggrin:

New marketing strategy. Skip, listen up.
Presenting, The "Thongee" by Blankenship Enterprises, LLC. The multifaceted new all in one boat tool for the boater that has everything! A way cool burgee, that doubles as a thong, rag, trolling teaser, butt floss, coosy, AND wall paper! What more could the edumacated man of the sea want? To get your, just call............
This whole thread needs a new direction. The latest posted ideas make ME not what to go there. I don't think any self respecting boater would either. Then again who said any of us were respectable?:confused: I'm sure NOT! :biggrin:

Well..finally got a pic of my burgee. Not exactly flying in the wind right now, but it still look honorable and should look great while underway.
Mistress, Looks good to me. Nice looking burgee. Where did you get that fine looking flag?:biggrin:

This tire kicker gave it to me.I resemble that remark, but I told you I made a bid for the Dodge last week, no reply from Cal (the intermediary) yet. In the meantime I got a love letter from the IRS, making me aware of an accounting error in THEIR FAVOR :(

you got one of those too? I love it when I got a call from the State of NC DOR collections office asking me when I was going to pay my $250k past due taxes last week. I was WTF?!?!?!? Couldn't figure that one out when I've never received any notice, nor ever even made that much money, much less enough to owe that much taxes. They are checking into that one.:confused:

Skip, we've become all too acquainted with the good old AMT as well.
Here's some shots of the FTC Burgee flying proudly on the St. Lawrence River a week ago. Saw lots of other Shammies, not sure if any were FTC members.
