It makes me sick to look at the photos ,so many good times had on those boats ,and they're gone, the ones left are going to take major work ,and it's not like the sportfishing charter business is a big money maker these days ,it usually just breaks even (if your lucky) ,and with today's fuel prices who knows about the future,my heart goes out to the ticos affected by this disaster
