It appears that this capital city has 2 such stores in the harbour area -
Home-Garden store and another one.  I will have 2 hours before the departure
of mailboat to Exumas, and looking for plain old propane in small 1 lb
cartridges. Can be either green Coleman, size of a loaf of bread (used for
screw-on stoves or BBQ), or blue or red tanks size of a vine bottle (these are
for welding torch, same thread and same gas).  Not looking for fancier
cartridges like MSR. Wouldn't like to have to use my alcohol stove - slow and
too much bulk of fuel, but this is plan B, easier to find than propane.  There
is also a plan C, of course, (70% rubbing alcohol) and plan D (smoke grenade
called Sierra Zipp stove, wood-burning pot-sooting gizmo). But hopefully I'll
find a propane.

G'Day Paddlewise,

Has anyone tried the ICOM VHF radio "IC-M33".

I'd be interested in opinions on reliability and ease of use.

All the best, PeterO
