Our 30-year old
Avon life raft flunked its 3-year servicing and the company that was repacking it says that it has deteriorated beyond their ability to
repair it. We are now in the market for a new life raft.
However, the choices here in
Thailand are limited at best and all stratospherically expensive. We would like to buy one in the
USA but the
shipping has become a major obstacle. Has anyone out there faced this problem and found a solution?
We are planning on leaving
Thailand for
South Africa next month but this issue might become a major stumbling block. Making that
passage without a life raft is not an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Fair winds and calm seas.
