Flying VFR is tricky

I am a LIDAR operator currently flying in a Cessna 206 in Honduras. on a VFR ferry flight heading from panama city to Limon Costa Rica we encountered heavy rain and dense clouds. Running out of fuel we landed in Bocas Del Toro panama, it took 3 days to have a barrel of AVgas shipped over to refuel and leave.
As a result of the 3 extra days our landing in Managua Nicaragua was delayed, we did not let them know we where on the way and they fined us $1000 for landing.
