She’d given some of them away but discovered that they were received with tepid enthusiasm. It seemed that her family and friends felt they were a bit like the t-shirts that say, “My parents went traveling and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” While in the throes of a delirium from COVID, she found herself staring at her growing pile of burgees and came up with an idea... Why not display them on bags and clothing instead of just on her walls? The result would surely be fun to wear and would also make excellent presents. She dusted off what minimal sewing skills she had acquired years before, and experimented on Oxford shirts, canvas bags, and polos. She sent several of them to family and friends. This time, they loved them. In fact, they had the audacity to request more of them! Orders started pouring in faster than she could fill them on her own. No longer able to meet the demand from her personal stock of burgees, Amy reached out to her longtime sailing buddy with whom she had recently completed the run from Fiji to New Zealand, Blaise Besant. Together they designed a custom line of burgees and broadened their line of products.
