Seventy gallon cardboard shipping barrel


Cardboard shipping barrel that we purchased from Tropical Shipping. We will fill these barrels with an assortment of boat supplies and personal items and then ship them to Greanda in advance of our return there in November 2009.

Barrel number two


Small Honda generator, new docklines, and other items will be added to fill this barrel. Being able to ship these items back to Grenada for a reasonable price really is a convenience. We do not have to worry about dragging heavy luggage through the airport, having the luggage pilfered or worse lost completely. Best of all the material will be cleared through Customs and stored for us at Le Phare Blue Marina by Island Dreams Yacht Services. All items will be in secure storage and readily available when we pull into our slip at the marina.

Barrel partially filled


Barrel is nearly full. Lesley has some sewing to do on some bedding which we will add to this barrel and then some small miscellaneous items and we will seal the barrel and drop it off in Riviera Beach, FL at the Tropical Shipping Office.
