I don't see patches on the website?
Something perhaps to look into is the possibility that a bulk order of
chandlery items be shipped out to a volunteer (or 2) in various "areas" to
1) broker for the group
2) bring along to the area's C&C rendezvous?
I must admit in the couple years I've had the boat I haven't made it to the
PNW rendezvous yet, but I'd be willing to help out with something like that.
However, somebody that does a fair bit of travelling for work or otherwise
would probably be a good "broker".

Subject: Stus-List Ball Caps
Seveeral months ago we stopped selling the Ball Caps and for several good
reasons.
Gladys, the embroidery queen, wore out her $2000 sewing machine and could
not justify replacing it. I learned quite a few new words when she was
sewing the caps.
We were purchasing decent hats wholesale and the company dropped the line
and introduced a new line at almost twice the cost.
The Post Office increased the cost of shipping. Shipping to the USA went
from $5.00 to almost $8.00. To ship in Canada to the west coast it was
over $14.00. Even having a commercial account with Canada Post, the costs
were outrageous. Fedex, UPS and others out completely out of the picture.
Every time the costs went up, I tried to absorb it but eventually it was
costing us and Gladys got nothing for her frustrations.
I'll pursue the matter this summer and see if we can get a commercial
company to make the hats for us at a reasonable cost and see if there is a
shipping method that is affordable.
Now if you have someone who can handle a needle and thread, Gladys is
still doing the embroidered C&C patches on another machine. Get yourself
a hat and have someone sew the patch on for you.
I'll certainly look into the possibility of getting the hats back online.
