I'm fortunate to work for a mail-order company. All my mail goes there, and they FedEx it to me wherever I am. We leave a short list of periodicals, catalogs, etc. that we don't want forwarded.. I think it's dangerous to have someone weed out mail in envelopes, as I have myself almost tossed refund checks from Discover, passwords, etc. thinking they were "junk." Because we are generally cruising in the Eastern Caribbean five months a year, we have re-scheduled renewals of subscriptions, documentation, insurance, etc to occur outsidfe this time. Many of my cruising friends use St. Brendan's Isle to forward mail, and say they are very good.
