A lot of the big 50’+ sport fish routinely make the trip to Costa RICO and back. Coming up the west side is the problem long open stretches with no protection. I remember when Roscioli was making the 65 Donzi’ one was abandoned on the run up the west side because the weather was so bad. They were rescued by a freighter. Plus So America right now is pretty much a war zone. I wouldn’t want to be a gringo down there right now.
