Back in 1977 a single handed sailor was trying that very trip. He ran into trouble and decided he may want to abandon his boat because he thought it was sinking. He got into his life raft and tied it to the boat but the line broke. His boat beat him to Central America by about two weeks. He finally made it in the raft.
