| exchanging burgees after a sail in Ile de Re |
Our family loves to sail. And we love to do it when we travel too. Vince and I always carry a yacht club burgee in our luggage in case we have an opportunity to exchange it for the burgee of any yacht club we visit while in port.
We have exchanged burgees both near (Nantucket, Edgartown, the Royal BVI and the St. Francis Yacht Clubs to name a few) and far (like yacht clubs in Marseille, Portofino, Zurich, Cowes and Rio de Janeiro.) For the last 20+ years, the burgee in our suitcase has been the red and white letter M of the Mantoloking Yacht Club on Barnegat Bay in New Jersey.

But now that we belong to the Royal Cape Yacht Club too - and more importantly, now that we have run out of Manto burgees - we will be bringing along a RCYC burgee with us in the future.
