We are currently cruising our Islander Freeport 36 sailboat in Mexico. We have been extensively documenting our outfitting for this adventure. Also, what works and what is not of value.

New Cockpit cup holders for replacement and two spares
We had ordered these in advance of coming to the US. We knew we would be here in a week or so and these were on sale. We purchased these at West Marine.
We need a couple to replace the two on our binical and these look a little stronger. I break them every once-in-a-while by hitting it with my butt. Then need to glue it and re-screw it in. They look bad now as they get filled with things that are around the cock pit. They also have been hit with every chemical we use on the boat. I did paint one and it looked better but still not good. So we got two spares.

Valley Thrift Store ( Thrift Red White and Blue ) in Escondido - 2017
Thrift Red White and Blue in Escandido is amazing.
It has a huge selection and there has been loads of people there both times we have been there. Yet there has been loads of stuff in the store and things I like too boot! Cash and carry with no returns so you need to suck it up if you change your mind at the car.
