8. Paper goods are very expensive there (almost $5 a mini roll).
That's pretty much the way it is everywhere. Unfortunately, unless you want to give up your bunk space to a few rolls of TP, then you will run out, in time. That's just the cost of cruising, like fuel and water from marinas.
However, we have a barrel or box sent to us once a year loaded with things from Good Seasons salad dressings to non-urgent boat parts. In these 'care' packages we use rolls of select-a-size paper towels and zip lock bags as packing instead of bubble wrap. That does help a bit with these super overpriced items.
Just a note. For the second year in a row, after years of being overcharged and run in circles by customs on some of the other islands, we had our 'care' package sent on Tropical (LCL cargo) to St Lucia. $167.00 from Riviera Beach to St Lucia! Absolutely no charges or hassles from customs. They didn't even care to go through the package, and it was huge, weighing around 150#. Only thing I had to pay was the agent fee of ec$150.00 to Kenneth of the Rodney Bay Marina to do the paperwork
AND deliver it to the dinghy dock. I doubt I'd have been able to hire a bus or truck to get a similar package from the airport to the dinghy on most islands for twice that price.
