Do you have a prticular reason for hanging around in bandit country?

If you are talking about Nicaragua then yes. it is a lot easier to sail
to Miami that way then through the rocky mountains. Maybe you can
suggest another route?


I don't know the area and I'm not in a position to suggest another route. I
was just wondering why one might choose to sail in relatively dangerous
areas. Gun or no gun, being in an area which is more likely to need a gun is
still more dangerous than being in a place where a gun isn't needed. Ergo,
why take the risk?
There isn't that much risk if you are prepared but also, that is the
route one takes to deliver a boat from LA to Miami. The route leaves
california, 2000+ miles of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, nicaragua, costa
rica, panama via the canal then north through the yucatan channel then
east to florida. The trip is about 8,000 miles when all is said and done
though if you are not stopping it is less. Nicaragua, by the way, is a
wonderful place with a few executions of awful. Only certain areas are
bad for people. The surf there is incredible because the wind is
offshore so often (although it gets a bit strong without warning and
there are lots of sharks)

I for one like going to places that no one else goes to- Sorry about
sounding a bit brash the first time. I thought you were being little
like the others here.
