Very sad. So much for their dream retirement in paradise. I just crossed off Guatemala on my list of places that I would like to visit someday.

Once should probably be armed in these places, especially considering Island Hoppers story. But on the other hand, who wants to go to jail in one of these third-world crap-holes for having a firearm?
Think I'll stay with the crap-hole that I know until I can escape from jersey.

Yeah I saw this story yesterday. It is unimaginable. Luckily where I would anchor out, I think I would be worse case scenario, would be the noise of generators of other boaters.

You could bet I would have my Sig and a few others with me if I were doing that. Worth the risk of the other country searching the vessle for a gun when you aren't supposed to have one.

A sad story. Anywhere in the world can be a dangerous place.

It is unfortunate, but Hugo Chavez and his cronies have been vilifying Americans to the point where the poor sometimes feel justified in using violence against the perceived 'oppressors' to get what they want.

This was in this morning Anchorage Daily News::smt038

GUATEMALA CITY - A Guatemalan prosecutor says two brothers have been detained in the machete murder of an Alaskan tourist aboard his boat last weekend.
Prosecutor Eliseo tells The Associated Press that investigators are comparing material from two men arrested today to fingerprints and other evidence found at the scene of the crime.
Retired Sutton resident Daniel Dryden was killed Saturday in a botched robbery by four machete-wielding assailants aboard his sailboat in a lake in northeastern Guatemala. His wife, Nancy, survived the attack.
Police used her testimony to compose a computer sketch of one of the assailants.
Quinonez says one of the detained brothers is a 90 percent match to that sketch. [/SIZE][/FONT]
