| Insanity: Taking others flat mail home!
On a couple of cruisers nets on VHF I have heard the net controllers ask: "If you are going home and want to take flat mail for other cruisers tell us now". I have never heard anything quite so insane for someone in a country a few miles from Columbia (or anywhere else) to suggest but to take someone elses mail back to the USA (or wherever) and go through customs with it. Is there something I am missing? Or do cruisers really trust people that much to take something through customs from someone they dont even know? A small dose of cocaine in an envelope could have you in jail till the boat rots....? Mark
