seems like a good read

I don't have a kindle reader though, but that must of been a great adventure only many can dream of. Does it come in pdf format?

Curious to know how you survived, challenges up against, etc... I suspect they would kick someone out of the country now a days if they tried to do that. I actually have a buddy that does that, moves from country to country (vietname, chile ec..) they kick him out he goes back to canada then ventures off again (he can't stand cold canadian winters) No money no real house just takes jobs teaching english, but has no real education (grade 10 as he dropped out).
Amazing adventures and stories to write about.
Not many would do that now a days I suspect we love our creature comforts.

I keep playing the clip from the movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS29IkGsqJU but I don't even think that was even filmed there (?)

Would have loved to do something like that. You owned the sail, boat and the waters to which you sailed.
Most days most people someone else owns the boat, sails and directs the winds to which many sail upon.

curious to know what Zihua and ixapa was like back in the 80s etc.. with the corrupt cops and gangs etc... with https://partenon.zihuatanejodeazueta.gob.mx/history/ up and running. Must of been wild times.
Now everything seems to be hidden behind white suits and political clout etc...

side note though: if I were to do life all over again, just dreaming though cause I don't have the 'gon-ds' to something like this..

if I were to do the whole thing over again I would do this, and I've met young 20 somethings who have done that. As they hitch hiked throughout central america.

When I was doing la ruta https://racelaruta.com/ I came across this guy in jeans and sandals https://autobus.cyclingnews.com/mtbphotos.php?id=photos/2005/nov05/ruta05/ruta052/DSC0108 he's doing a grueling 3 day race in jean shorts and sandals who does that!

Who is this guy I asked, supposedly he used to teach physics and owned a company building converters for boats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLoMJ-D0R9U
I guess one day he just jumped in a sail boat and sailed down to costa rica and that is where he hung his hat https://www.soulsofsociety.com/2016/03/30/honey-and-heart/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw0onReuvbf/?hl=en I used to race against his son https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/video-akerson-surprises-favorites-at-la-ruta/ https://thecostaricanews.com/75-year-old-adventurer-got-lost-30-hours-in-the-costa-rican-mountains-while-tracing-new-mountain-bike-routes/ cool adventures good stories/journey
