Shop ‘Til We Drop!

It’s Shopping Time!  Every year at about this time we gather up as many willing souls as we can and hit up the local food stores! We are talking Mega-Shopping that turns heads and gets people talking! Like everything else about SeaTrek, it’s an adventure!

This year Sophie, Maris, Lauren and Sarah-Jayne along with Captains Kat, Kris and myself answered the call to brave the craziness as we swarmed the food stores! Sam’s, Walmart, Gordon’s and Bueches have become our go-to places for the last several years. All told we’ll send down 8 pallets of non-perishable food by freight (to Miami) and boat (from Miami to Tortola). It takes a bit of logistics and luck for everything to come together. Over the years we have had to deal with a flooded warehouse, a storm that delayed the boat coming from Miami and cantankerous customs folks! Yikes!
Fun, fun, fun as we prepare for another fantastic summer with SeaTrek!
