charged, next to hoist, with a green sail overlapping a red sail both above a

GLSS.
"Membership in the Society is conveyed only to those individuals
who successfully complete one of the following Solo Challenges: Port Huron to
Mackinac Island, Chicago to Mackinac Island, Sault Ste. Marie to Duluth, Lake
Erie Solo Challenge, Lake Ontario 300 Solo Challenge. The satisfactory
completion of any one of these challenges is viewed as a significant individual
accomplishment – there are fewer than 300 skippers world-wide who are able to
make that claim.”

I contacted the GLSS and they could not help us with the origins, except in
telling us they started over 40 years ago. However, they were able to tell us
this regarding the colours: "The colors in the burgee are dark blue, medium blue
and red."
