Full complement of 24 pies safely arrived in st martin, plus various FB corned beef and quite a lot of pot noodle wth only one pot noodle breakage.
Weight limit for baggage sems to be 20 kg but the Afrance girls wll allow 22. Security wise, the baked beans that i chucked into handbagage was ok but the 2 tins of mushroom soup that swmbo gave me to make it lok as tho she was making an efort - got pinched cos it's "liquid".
The ipod works tho one ckpit speaker dodgy.
I have lots of pics of things, and further investigation of the spares situation is v positive - belts and fuel filters for engines and generator, other spares even to anodes for saildrives.
Incidentally, st martin likely beter that uk south coast for largish french built boat - loads of big Antibes boats sit on south side of the island clocking up massive marina bills with plentifl shops for wasting owner's money instead of a anchor so the crew have easy acess to the bars and playing pool. Much more serous on north side where it's french ( but dollar still preferred to euro, and often offerred 1-1 exchange rate) where we all sit on ther pavement to surf outside closed free-wifi caffs at nite ....
