  1. no thanx! my motto is never get on the boat! after being caught in a papagayo wind storm off nicuragua in 1990. started 5 miles off the beach you could see the waves breaking on the shore......had been making good time heading for Panama. 48 hrs later we were 550 miles off the coast.......40knot sustained winds 40ft. seas---48hrs worth...almost demasted - keel loosened taking on water,,,alternator bearings burned out from motor being tilted to the right from being healed over for so long,,,,,we limped into costa rica 6 days later........NO THANKS! Ill stay on the Shore! Sniping bedrock w/ my SDC-2300 which came today fedex Robs Detector Sales along w/ GPX4500! Thanx Rob for the Great Deal!
