"Red Cloud" WAS the first - the first to fail at a simple coffee bean run!

Ohhh, hardly that, and the Spanish were sinking boats in the Gulf of
Mexico 500 years ago. *They were pretty good at it.

Thanks for the link, interesting about the P. Belle. A nice new 80+ft
Schooner seems to be the way to go if you were to run coffee. I wonder
why the Patricia Belle only did one run on the boats maiden voyage to
the west coast?

Red Cloud tried, they may have lost a battle but they are still going
strong. Have you tried sailing anywhere lately?
Have you tried the coffee? It's damn good, I wish I could get it local
and not pay the post office so much to deliver it to Miami. You should
support the effort, I like the Octopussy's choice..Here ya go

You should try sailing for real some day Neal. Chill dude.
Get out and stop being a Skip, Zac, Joe, Roger, sail magazine groopie
wanna-be. You are as bad as Bob hanging around the crab docks begging
for an autograph. You need to learn that there is no failure except in
no longer trying. Take your sharpest knife out, slice off those huge
hemmoroids gluing you to the purple Naugahide and try to sail that
broken boomed banana again. Good luck.


Wayne,

According to the MMS there are over 4000 "historic" shipwrecks in the
Gulf and estimated at over 100,000 wrecks total. Mostly shrimp and
oilfield service vessels.
