Honestly, though, I don't know that I could take your money after all the great advice you've generously given....I guess it all just comes down to a question of space, verdad?

1 20' container shipped out of Long Beach, second or third week of August.

I'm guessing you'd want the Long Beach container. But you would have to come to our place outside Coyhaique to retrieve your stuff, and I won't be there till the end of October for you to do that. The customs clearing,transport to the farm,etc. will be handled by my friend who lives there now, and who has shipped a number of containers already.

EDIT - sent you PM

Here is what a folbot looks like in the bags. Not my present boat, just bagging sample.

Thanks

Is there anything you haven't been or done, Charles? You must be like a hundred and seventy! Just kidding. We were wondering the same thing about canoes. I have a friend who makes wooden canoes. Are there people who make them there?

In Tierra del Fuego and the southern islands, not for about 100 years.

Around Chiloé, still some seen occasionally, though probably not what you had in mind.
