I was anchored on a small 30ft sai...Great post yo.. I was anchored on a small 30ft sail boat in Nicarugua when i found out this happened. Shit was crazy down there, we sailed out of Mexico and into Central America right when those storm systems blew through. It was wild, everything was chaos, I was right off the coast of Guatemala entering into El Salvador when this particular event happened. We sailed down the coast of Mexico from California for 5 months prior to entering Central America, it was wild like I said, we did hit some crazy weather on our way down Mexico, but once we got into Central America shit just went into overdrive. We where one of the few small crafts in the ocean at this time and it was touch and go, life and death it seemed like every other hour.. FOR REAL! I was like "COME ON ALREADY", storm after storm; thank god for sea anchors. We even got stuck in the last port in Mexico for two weeks because our boat got thrashed while trying to exit Mexico for the first time, the first storm was so bad that in literally pushed us backwards 9 miles. Both engines got worked so hard that they shit the bed and we were trapped in the 3rd world port of Puerto Madero Mexico for two freaking weeks.. Nothing better then being trapped on a small fiberglass boat for two weeks, out in the blazing sun with the water so nasty that there was constant human feces floating by. <br /> Also, the one thing people dont seem to bring up is the fact that the largest volcano in Guatemala was spewing ash all over the city and country around the time this sink hole opened up. Then it rained, the ash became rivers of mud and so on. WHAT A FREAKING MESS!!<br />All in all I am alive and well, back home in NYC for the first time in 15 years and I could not be happier... My heart goes out to all of Mexico and Central America for this El Nino year has been very hard for them..<br /> But, I must say it was all one hell of a rush for me... I would NEVER wish for that to happen again, but looking back at it all it was wild yo!<br />WORD!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
