Hi Footloose, Thank you for the question. We don't quite go as far round as French Pass. The nearest we go is Port Ligar on our Friday Mail Run. There is some interesting history about the mail going to French Pass over the years which I have on board. Is there anything in particular that you were trying to do, I do have a couple of contacts at French Pass that may be able to help. Cheers, Jim
