Yes, they are friendly folks at Marinsa.
Gabriel Alvarado, the director of Marinsa Marine Store in San Salvador is a returning sponsor. Gabriel wants us to know that he is an independent store that is not associated with Marinsa, Florida. He is available by email and assures us that he checks his emails every day. If someone needs parts ordered he can do that however, he says that there is no such thing as overnight or fast delivery anywhere south of the U.S. border unless you are willing to dish out plenty of money.
Gabriel is providing five $25 gift certificates and a 22lb Lewmar claw anchor as prizes for the awards ceremony May 1. He has also promised some suprise gifts as well. Last year it was a nice boom vang.

Marinsa receives a container approximately once a month shipped from Florida to eastern Guatemala then it is trucked into San Salvador. He is willing to let you drop-ship items to his shipper to have it included in his shipment. Gabriel says that he can order pretty much anything but it can take from a week to a month to arrive depending on the product. Additionally, the amount of duty varies widely based on the product ordered. Some products such as cloth are protected and carry a large tax. You can contact Gabriel via email at: galvarado@marinsa.com.sv. It is important to put Cruisers Rally in the subject line.
