Jim We will be kicking off to Ambergris Caye Belize later this mo if you would like to do it then. Not sure if it would be a fair race, as RedCloud has been gutted to carry cargo and is sitting high in the water, she gonna fly like a Cloud Jim, you won't have a chance. We will time our departure with a hopefully strong Northern front. We are flying down to Belize today to scout the harbor and roast some coffee. Here soon we will have a free coffee cupping event/press day here at the dock on the Taylor lake cut. Please come by and I'll give you a tour of the little cargo ship, and some great fresh roasted, hand sorted, sun dried, organic Caye coffee. The same coffee we will be importing via sail.

For example, sail the first 20 minutes, motor the next 20 minutes, and so on. Jim |
