Re: Cat On Board - Gaining access to Caribbean

The “British” islands are the worst. The french islands are not a problem, they don’t care. Most want 1yr rabie shots, not 3yr. St. Lucia was hard, Grenada was easy, can’t speak to the rest.

Re: Maintenance of SS while cruising...

Outside of US, everyone uses Ospho. Its an acid also, rinse w/ fresh water afterwards. Big help is to wax after that, holds up several months. Any wax will do, I leave the wax on.
