Just a quick post ….. After watching those videos of those big crocs I think they are the same croc. I saw these 2 (or 1) within .5 miles of each other and about 2-3 days apart. These could very well be the same croc. Watch the videos and tell me what you think.

I’ve been home a week today and I finally have some time to write some thoughts of my CR trip. There was lots of good and a little bad but everything was interesting. As I posted before I shipped my boat and motor down to CR and everything went well with that other than I learned a lesson on CR lawyers. Never trust/believe a lawyer in CR. Always get a second lawyer to “check” on the first lawyer. It seems like they deliberately try to be incompetent so they can get more work for their colleges. I was quoted from my lawyer that it would cost me only $200.00 import duty on my boat and motor. All my research showed it would cost around $1000.00 to $1500.00 duty. Even when I mentioned this to my lawyer she assured me that it would only be 200 dollars US. I got to CR on the 3^rd of Dec and waited for my boat to arrive. When it got there I was getting it thru custom to find out it was going to be 2000.00 duty. After a few days of trying to get a hold of my now very busy lawyer only to get a shrug and brush off I went back to the old fashioned ways of doing things and got the boat thru for 1200 U.S. This was not a big surprise but I mention this to show just how poor the lawyers in CR are. After talking to other Gringos I found that my lawyer experience is the norm …..

  Just before Christmas I got the boat into Tortuguero but that is a story for another post. I will say that it was an adventure but then everything I did was an adventure. I came back out from the jungle and spent the holidays with the family who were down for a couple of weeks.  They did come into the jungle for a couple of days but we spent most of their time in CR being tourist and driving around.

I got back to the jungle by the 2^nd of Jan and stayed there off and on till I came back on the 26^th of Feb. I did come out of the jungle 3 times during these 2 months …… twice because of extensive rain/high water and I came out for the Superbowl.  The rest of the time was spent bumming around the jungle. There will be many more post about what I was doing while bumming around but that is for future posts.

Meanwhile I will continue to post my videos and I do promise to make future posts to explain the story behind the videos. I tried to do an audio explanation on most of the videos but I will be adding more post as I get time. I am very busy trying to get everything caught up and get things ready so I can get back to CR as soon as I can. Got to go ……
