Lucky piece a...

I would get a couple rolls of shrink-wrap and just wrap it. Start with a small roll of 4" stuff -- they come on small rolls with handles -- and do a tight wrap at each station so that the strips don't come loose from the forms. Then go over the whole shebang with larger shrink-wrap. Then send it on the roof of your car.

Give a good tip to the guy who loads your car on the boat so that he doesn't hit anything when he parks it inside. :)

And post pictures of your new grass hut, Jeep, and Burt Reynolds tan...

: Okay, timing is everything, and this time I missed it. I have to (okay, GET
: to) move to St. Thomas, USVI. The problem? My kayak is unfinished. I will
: only be able to finish stripping the deck. I seriously doubt I will make
: it to any 'glassing, but if I do it will only be the outside. If I wrap it
: tightly with plastic and keep it on the frame, could I ship it: A. In a
: wooden crate (costs more)

: B. On top of my car (company pays to ship the car)

: Thanks,
: Malcolm
: P.S. Any info on homes in St. Thomas much appreciated as well. Also looking
: for '97 and up Jeep Wrangler Sport for sale when I get there if anyone
: knows of one.
