How will I find you?

I have my burgee and will likely go to the boat-show. Maybe by B.C. Ferries and stay with my kids in Surrey. Feb. is the time I'd like to get Sun Gypsy out of the water for spring bottom paint. So many things to do and so little time.
Won’t make the vancouver show. But planning on the SEA show. You guys can buy me a b’day beer....
@Stu Jackson , there no way that the Alberta boys will be digging the boats out of @Sailavie1 ’s yard. That’s a tough enough job in May. 
but we’ll forgo the burgee and go hang with John and Les anyway. You just never know what kind of fun and frivolity can get stirred up.

rgranger, I just showed my wife the picture you posted of the new SBO burgee and she said, "All right, I get it. Send me the link again. You can tell him, 'Thank a lot'."
I read the rest of the thread to her and she has remained pointedly silent about the BC boat show. I think going North of our own 44 degrees is counter to what she has been planning with our kids. 17 and a half degrees is more her plan. (It just occurred to me how ironic it is that the higher the latitude degrees the lower the thermometer degrees).

Granted Stu’s suggestion makes it more of a challenge and who does not like a challenge?
My thought, in my festive Christmas mood and under the influence of a bit of nog, was to foster a bit of Comradery.
So for the rules focused among us, PM me that your coming to the 2019 boat show on 9 Feb by any mode of transportation that you choose. (Extra credit if you teleport) Then show up at Vancouver Boat Show and join us at a too be discovered location (One of you Canadian participants will need to identify a good location as I have no knowledge of the area and my charts of Canadian watering holes is limited)
I’ll raid my piggy bank and break into the SBO warehouse and see if I can “Let’s Make a Deal” with @Dave Groshong for some of the dust gathering burgees, with my newly minted though meager Social Security check.
Man it sounded so simple in my Christmas Nog fogged mind.
So that’s the deal. I and a couple others “Les and Ward ( real men are not afraid of the cold - though I have caught a cold once.) will be boating to the event. Departing Everett WA in the AM on the 6th There is room for other adventurous souls motivated to sail/motor north of the 49th parallel, after all this is the Winter Cruise of 2019.
Another one of Les and John’s Excellent Adventures.

I have my brand new SBO burgee and will be proudly flying it when I get out this weekend. (even though I will probably be the only one out on the lake) But I will also be flying it in Florida this March when I have a boat chartered to spend several days exploring the Keys.

The first one is a recurring theme where the world juniors hand it to our southern neighbours on a yearly basis. and the following three appear to be draft dodgers or recent firings from a high level government job.
(And this is not a politically inspired posing)

Maybe the second is a draft dodger... I doubt the last two are smart enough to dodge a fly.
Nothing, wrong answer. But I will let you see what I picked up from SBO for my prize.
