Ensuring your mail (snail mail) finds you
wherever you are in the world can be a bit challenging. Family or
friends may be willing to do this for you, but it may be asking rather a
lot, especially if you are away a long time. A solution is to use a
professional mail forwarding company. These vary very much in price and
service and it is probably best to use a service that specialises for
cruising boats. Also it is best to get a recommendation from someone who
has used a service before committing. We used Voyager mail
successfully for several years cruising with no problems. Below are some
of many companies. If you know of other companies that provide a good
service please let us know via
feedback. |
