Our own Dan Lawson will tell us about a sailboat trip with his Dad in the 1980s to South America. At that time, the Sandinistas in Nicaragua made it clear that any boat coming within 200 miles of Nicaragua would be scraped with machinegun fire.  Dan and his Dad came within 125 miles without incident but decided not to change the course and go to Costa Rica. Instead, a large storm had other ideas, and they were blown 30 miles from Nicaragua. Dan will tell us about the longest 30 hours of his life….

Arrggh!
