Items for bartaring...

[ChattingLil]

as we begin the long process of saving up and getting ready for our own adventure, I saw this article and wondered what others have found useful to stockpile and keep for bartarting.... I have a WHOLE HEAP of bras I'd happily dispense with!

Damn, we got our fishing reel off Jane-G, I never thought about asking Jane for a bra.

A bit of journalistic licence, but the basics are correct; one of the nicest couples we've met along the way.

In the Venezualan out islands the fishermen wanted one pack of cigarettes for one lobster or fish, a 20 pack is about 10 pence. They are often away for six months and run out of their medicine we carried a large range of drugs and gave what they wanted free. It helps to speak Spanish.

I a few years time I intend to test out the theory that a few bottles of cheap whiskey can buy you anything in the Nordic countries.

Having sailed in Norway and seen Norwegian boats stockpiling by the case in Lerwick at full UK prices this is quite possible. However - if you get caught by the authorities it could prove very expensive . . . .
