ELLago Coffee Co is offical
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 RedCloud |

ELLago Coffee Co is offical
Congratulations and Good Luck on your new venture, Joe.
But you might want to double check a few things. The reason there is very little Belize coffee is that they have no high mountains, which is where virtually all of the high quality coffee is grown. Also, the Caye Coffee company says they get their coffee from the Antigua region of Guatemala. http://www.cayecoffee.com/coffee.html Joe wrote: 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.

Thank you Joe,
I want you to remember that I'm also a Coffee Lover but not a Coffee Snob. http://d21c.com/nrp1/ccups/pg4-thur.jpeg I've never found a coffee I don't like. Good luck with your new endeavor! Hope it works out for you. |

However he will roast it and pack it in degassing bags in Belize, making it an export of Belize. The Dark Maya Roast is the best on earth..I'm telling you. He says it was a fluke mix that has become the most requested on the Caye.

Lloyd- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Nothing is a sure thing Lloyd. We have started several ventures that did not pay out, had a bank repo my Shrimp boat ect..ect. And in the process I hoped I learned enough to make this work. One thing I have learned is if you do not step up to the plate and swing, you're never going to score. RedCloud is fit for the duty, so I doubt I'll loose her. And I'd never bet her on anything. If the wheels come off the venture I always have my deep fryer career at the Burger Barn. We realize we are way ahead of the curve on this one, but that's what we are counting on. Many people are looking for new eco-friendly ways of doing things and eco-friendly products to support. Coffee is the perfect cargo to switch to sail transport, and since it's the second largest in volume item traded on earth we think that long term.... if our model works...could make a major impact in the shipping and coffee industry. We realize also that 10,000 lbs of coffee is barely a drop in the pot.. but you have to start somewhere. Joe |

Did you change anything on the engines to burn the stuff? Fresh Breezes Doug King |
