It's one thing to walk around with your burgee at a boat show, but what about other times? It looks kinda silly to fly one while out and about. We need something more subtle. SBO members need a secret decoder ring20190705_052225.jpg and handshake
See? Subtle.

Not sure I could remember all that! I think I’ll just fly my burgee.

Or you could just ask a new sailor when you meet.
Have you used the SBO Forum?

Hello SBO Members,

Will: When can a representative group of SBO members meet to choreograph moves similar to those in your video? The people in the background are studying the moves critically and very carefully.

jssailem: Your solution is too simple! It will never catch on.

Back in the Day: 31Seahorse won a hat with SBO information on it. My entry for the now defunct caption contest was chosen as a winner. I LOVED that hat and wore it often! It met an untimely end when it was knocked from my head while I was driving the tractor and pulling the brush hog through some overhanging branches. I'm beginning to tear-up, so I'll leave the story at this point. I should shop for a replacement.

For all sailors who venture into the PacNW waters, should we meet and should you offer me a beer and a sailing story, it is entirely possible that you might walk away with a SBO burgee as a parting memento.

Seems I acquired a few during our February, Les and John's 2019 Extreme Winter Sailing Adventure and only @Michael Davis and of course @Phil Herring greeted us along the way.

Did figure eights and having a good old time until I looked behind and saw Harbor Patrol, DNR and Coast Guard blue light specials. At least on shore I was being cheered on but was being reamed out by DNR
Geez Dave!

"What's on your forehead?"

On mine there is the imprint of the palm of my own hand. It has been becoming more evident as I get older and continue to smack myself there as I say to myself, "That is so simple. Why didn't I think of it?"
