St Brendan's Isle (then)
In the middle ages, St Brendan's Island was like Brigadoon for the Catholic faithful, appearing and disappearing in the North Atlantic as circumstances required. The island reportedly had the ability to manage time, making a 15 day stay by St. Brendan (the Navigator) and his monks be a year-long wait for the ships on which they sailed. A pretty useful trick IMHO, but unfortunately, there have been no recent sightings reported. (😢)

But there is hope!
St Brendan's Isle (now)
In the 21st century, St Brendan's Isle is the go-to mail handling service for long-term travelers (Like us Loopers!). Based in Glen Cove Springs, FL, St Brendan's will accept our mail from the USPS, filter out the obvious junk, and forward what remains to us on-demand at any address we designate. Optionally, they will open and scan the first class and send it to us via email. All for not a lot of $. Pretty cool, huh!
It seems they do good business. When we enrolled, we were assigned a box # in the 16,000's! 😮
How they arrived at their business name is, like the island, apparently lost in the mists of legend. Perhaps its because their process is so well designed and executed, it is nye on invisible. We hope so. 👍
That's some fun trivia! We'll have to be sure to grab that address from you guys!
