2 weeks ago a French catamaran was boarded by a number of men with machetes and rifles. They held the crew under gun point, took all the stuff of value and left. The crew said that they didn't hurt them. If it was the same group but this time the captain pulled a gun in self defense I would think that one of the thugs would have shot him. You don't carry weapons and not use them when needed.

Haven't read anything about it but it's a thought.

He Steve, you were going to go with us back to Roatan from the Rio Dulce this February, Are you and Denny still till planning on that?
