One of the pleasures.....

[Boz]

Of drifting gently back up the Crouch on Sunday afternoon or any day really is the camaraderie of the sea, with friendly waves and shouted greetings from most boats. However looking through the threads there were clearly a lot of ECM contributers out there.

I am hopeless at names but it would have been nice to give an extra wave to forumites. Perhaps we need an ECF burgee. Probably been suggested before.... But a search revealed nothing??

Some of us have a YBW burgee HLB used to do them.

I'd support the idea of an ECF burgee, but I think there might already be one. I don't know who or what but for some reason I have the idea that there was something along the lines of a sunset on a blue background. Have to ask some of the 'oldies' here (as opposed to us newbies ).

If there isn't one, I don't mind arranging one if someone wants to come with ideas for a design.

Indeed and I was flying mine on Sunday on the Crouch!

Rather than a burgee how about a house flag? Basically a rectangular burgee!

It could incorporte a bit of the YBW design - perhaps have the mouse sitting on a sandbank next to Rogers Dange Deep Water buoy?

what's the difference in meaning beween a burgee and a house flag?

I'd second that....... Rogers deep water bouy on a burgee...... also what about some sort of tie pin thingy we could wear on our t-shirts (it'd be great for when we next try to have a piss up in a pub but no one knows anyone!! lol - that still makes me giggle!!! )

You should only fly 1 burgee at a time so being selfish generally I want to fly my RNSA one (and my blue ensign 'dont you know!!') rather than YBW (although I do YBW for 'special occasions'). This was can fly both!

ian... next you will have us rolling one trouser leg up....lol

A cocktail mouse?
I think I must have led a very sheltered life

anyone got a photo of the ybw one?

With apologies to Lakesailor

Oh, that one!
I thought he meant a mouse on a stick, like a cocktail sausage

 

[ChattingLil]

seeing as we're all east-coasters, perhaps we should have one with a seal and pint glass!

(although I do happen to have a cocktail shelf (well it's got a disco mirror anyway) on Black Magic )

Will this become a club?

Whilst I do,like the idea of a burgee.. And the drunk mouse seems quite appropriate...

What I also like about ECMF is the fact it is totally informal and there are no rules, no committee, no membership secretary... I would be concerned that a Burgee may get followed by a membership of some sort and it could become a proper club... Which is really not what we seem to be about..

I suppose we could create merry mayhem by hoisting flags ECF.. I am sure it has a code meaning but I have not found out what...

 

[ChattingLil]

think Tomahawk might be right -also because it might make it a bit 'cliquey' and that's not what it's about either. in my opinion!

 

[CliveG]

This is a flag code that is not allocated a meaning.

UW9
I could suggest that it be used to indicate ECF

I can not find a code using ECF flags so would be o.k. as well.
