Sorry to hear about the ex wife and the place ceasing to exist.

We were eating dinner inside in 1976 when the heavens opened up. Filled our
dinghy to the rim with rainwater and after dinner we found our floorboards
floating inside our Choy Lee Frisco Flyer. Finally put an electric bilge
pump and float switch on our 26 foot cruiser.

Cheers,

It was taken over by Mike and Sally and it became the Hacienda Nicoyana. We
were there in the late 70's for quite some time as we had built our boat in
Costa Rica and I was working at the sailboat factory in San Jose.

We went back about four years ago and found nothing there.
