Default Sailing Cargo Ships making comeback maybe?...Thank the tree huggers

20 tonnes of cargo seems a bit much for her. But at 12 dollars a pound
I see's 200K profit per trip.


That much? I'm just curious how you came to those numbers. It seems
that a small coffee company could do quite well with much profit. If
they make say 4 trips a year and get a good loyal following they could
have a nice year. I have heard of people that really like coffee
buying it from special Hawaiian distributors and paying something like
15-20 a pound. As long as its good coffee I don't see how this could
be such a bad idea.
