So...someone start a part delivery business from Freeport to any

At West End there is no store for fishermen although fishing is THE

Getting rid of conch shells is a problem on GBI. *So, bring thousands

Dude! I apreciate reading about your adventures, but why did the belt
blow off? if something out-of-the-blue happened, to it I can accept
that, but if it was crusty and shot tobegin with, then why didn't you
check it out before you left?

I'm not questioning your MO, but before I took a trip like that I'd
look some stuff over a bit better
