Ahoy, Shipmates! The TWL Burgees are a hot item -- but some segments of the TWList seem to be under-represented! To date, the order breakdown is thus: US East Coast 50% US West Coast 26% US Great Lakes 12% US Gulf Coast (excl FL) 9% Canada 3% If we include Florida in the Gulf Coast segment, that evens out the distribution somewhat: US East Coast 32% US West Coast 26% US Great Lakes 12% US Gulf Coast (incl FL) 27% Canada 3% But no matter how you chew on it, there are some glaring holes. A very small percentage from Canada, and not one order from outside North America! Now, I know there are hundreds of you Listees out there in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Are you already equipped? If not, then why not? And what about a few more of you Great Lakes folks? I know you're still ice-bound on the UP, and the view from your 36th floor condo on the Gold Coast may not exactly be tropical, but time's flying and spring is right out there, somewhere in the ether, just waiting to roll in here any day now. All things considered [can I use that phrase?] there are still far fewer Listees burgeed than not. The order will be going to the Honduran sweatsh..... the manufacturer by next Saturday, March 1. [Just a joke, folks, don't get all twisted.] If you order by email this week and follow up with your check, I will include you in this order, and I'll then have your check before I ship the burgees out to you. If d'ain no check I sen Paulie aroun, nowhadamean? Good. The price for the TWL Burgee is just $25 each, including shipping and handling. That's a very reasonable price for a unit of this quality -- only .025 BU!! Ordering is easy. To order, send me a check or money order (payable in US dollars) totaling $25 for each Burgee ordered. Make the check or money order payable to me personally, John Gaquin. Lots of upgrades needed this spring on the Queen. Send your order to: John Gaquin 2 Koala Bear Lane Westford, MA 01886 USA All of this is explained on the Trawlerworld webpage at http://www.trawlerworld.com/burgee.htm I expect to hear from you very soon. If you're unable, though, there'll be another order in a few months or so. Regards, John Gaquin TWL BurgeeMeister
