It would be great if someone could also give me an idea of the same in
the Caribbean - I realise that it must vary from place to place.

Also, what is the current cost of petrol for cars. When I was there
last, about 8 years ago, it seemed incredibly cheap.

About 40%-50% of prices in Europe.

Presently, prices are very high by US standards, about $2.30/US gallon
here in Southern California for land based purchases of either this
week. Last week it was $2.40. Add 15%-30% for marina pricing.

Yep and I'm still on Yacht-L.

How about you?

No, I signed off when we left Sydney over 5 years ago. We have been
sailing ever since and have only been able to use web mail. I have
forgotten how I got onto it. It would be appreciated if you would
email me to refresh my memory. It was very good; no spam, no cross
posting and messages from God, no Russian porn.

By the way, how is the boat building project. I don't think I would
have the courage to take any longer than the three years it took me to
build ours. That was long enough and I got sick of being poor.

At the end of this year I hope to sail across from Spain to the US. I
have travelled between Boston and New York and can't wait to sail
there.
