good, fast or cheap...
There is a saying, "good, fast or cheap...pick any two." I think the guy paid more than full price in time; the crossing took over a month. Building the raft had to cost something, plus the outboard motor, the damage to his motorcycle and trips back to Panama City for parts and other back tracking. His trip makes the recent 5-6 crossing on the San Blas Ferry seem like a piece of cake.
I wouldn't have believed the story if there weren't pictures. I'm still scratching my head wondering why someone would subject themselves to such a difficult crossing. Different strokes for different folks, and decidedly not for me.
