Can anyone tell me if Hacienda Nicoyana (once known as "Joe Hill's") is still in existence? This cruising stop is (was?) located off the Gulf of Nicoya near Puntarenas, Costa Rica. I had a pleasant stop there in 1975 (even hauled on their grid) when Joe and Nancy Hill ran the place. I know they have long gone, but I had heard others took over. Any recent experience out there? Anyone know what happened to the Hills? John Mason K6VKV SV Wanderstar - Fast Passage 39 Lying Titusville |

Joe hills is no longer exists nor does the Hacienda Nicoyana. Joe's wife mysteriously drowned and shortly thereafter he left with a younger woman. 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. Ben |

Hacienda Nicoyana
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, Bert New Zealand wrote in message ...
