Greetings fellow Sailors,

Since many of you have helped me over the years learn mucho about
sailing, I figured it's proper for me to announce to the world here
first.. about the new ElLago Coffee Co.

The Sailing Vessel RedCloud has been converted to carry cargo. She
will be departing Houston mid to late November to pick up her first
load of coffee cargo in Ambergris Caye Belize. With a return in time
to sell all the cargo on e-bay just before Christmas. The ELLago
Coffee Import Company will be importing coffee (10,000 LBS per trip)
in an eco-friendly sustainable way to the USA aboard the sailing
vessel RedCloud. This will be, according to William Ukers all about
coffee, the first time since the Braque Padang arrived in NYC
Christmas day 1914 that coffee has been imported to the USA via
sailing vessel. It's the dawn of the new age of sail.

After sampeling many many coffee's from Jamica, Brazil, Guatamela,
Costa Rica, Mexico we selected the Ambergris Caye coffee companys
products to import for several reasons, the main reason it's the best
tasting coffee you every tasted. Mr. Clause (A Canadian) has
perfected to a fine art, several different roast combos that will
knock your socks off. Ambergris Caye's tourist season was crushed this
year due to the two hurricanes that have hit the region and the island
can use any extra income. The ElLago Coffee co. will be the only
importer to the USA of Belize coffee.

RedClouds generator and main engine now burn a local produced and
grown Bio-fuel. Soybeans and mustard seeds IIRC.

We will show the world through the ElLago Coffee Co. a model for
sustainability and profit using 100% renewable energy. Our coffee will
be the cleanest and GREENEST products in today's Green, Organic
concise and aware world.

Our mission will be to deliver high quality, high demand, organic
products shipped in a manner that fosters Brand loyalty from our
customers, and promotes environmental awareness and preservation.

Again thank you all for your support over the years here..most of all
thank you Ol Thom for your rigging, sailing trim tips, and advice.

Any questions?

Captain Joe
