Danish-American Sailor Killed in Panama
Danish-American sailor Bond "Bo" Olsen, 61, died of a gunshot wound to his leg Tuesday, after being attacked by four men aboard his boat, Antares, which was anchored off Bajo Pipón Island in the Gulf of Chiriqui, on Panama’s Pacific coast.
Although complete details surrounding the attack have yet to be released, we do know that Antares had been anchored off the island for roughly six months. Olsen’s son Zacarías, 24, and his Panamanian wife Sujey Rodriguez, 27, were also attacked, but both survived their injuries.

I knew Bo, he was a guest in my home in CR. We had a mutual friend/acquaintance, Dr. Bob of Honolulu and then Ventura County, CA. , who may still living, hence the respect for his full name. Bo claimed Bob stole his wife/paramour in HI. . I was saddened and shocked at the news, some time after, of his death and the circumstances thereof.
I heard of his passing from Lynn an expat living a few miles from me in CR.
