Estimado Sr Alfaro,
Como esta usted!
Fabio Lemos pointed me in your direction for a variety of reasons, one of which is to discuss local guitar makers in CR.
Fabio tells me that you play guitar.
My family is enjoying the learning process of playing guitar and we are trying to plan a trip to CR.
You may understand the need to have many guitars, so you may appreciate that it will add interest to our trip to CR to purchase a dreadnought guitar locally in CR.
Are there any guitar makers in Puntarenas?
~Cordialmente,
Pete Carrico

Thanks Arnoldo,
I had found Guzma'n's webpage, but I didn't see Juan Bansbach or Guitarras Mora. I'll search for them on the 'net later.
The plan is fly into San Jose', Hotel 1 night, tour the town & buy a guitar, then go to Puntarenas next. Later in the week would be to go to the beaches on the outer coast, back to Puntarenas, then return to San Jose'.
The big question is: when?...
Soonest would be August 09 unless our winter plans open up.
Economy not really a factor- life too short!!!

A very colorful sail! Esphatal will be even more of a joy to sail.

I will be down in February. I hope we can take a short cruise!

I am staying warm aboard up here. Ciao Art

Is the mizzen boom the original lenght, or did you extend the mizzen boom?
Looks like Esphatal has plenty of sail area.
