Galveston's Best Coffee Lies!
"Joe" wrote in message
... http://galvestondailynews.com/story.lasso?wcd=149551 Joe Headway: Nearly two years ago today, the U.S. Coast Guard rescued Joe and Terry Butcher, along with Joe's brother, Douglas Butcher, after their sailboat, Red Cloud, was struck by 25-foot seas 200 miles offshore. *** Lie #1 I saw the rescue vids and those little seas were fifteen feet MAX! More like 10 footers with an occasional 15 footer thrown in. Joe and Terry Butcher own El Lago Coffee Co. The trio had planned to deliver 10,000 pounds of coffee from Belize to Texas. *** Lie #2 One does not deliver *from/to*. One can only deliver to. Although Red Cloud was lost, the Butchers' are sailing ahead with the business, this month announcing they'll begin selling El Lago coffee at Arlan's Market, 514 Market St., in Galveston. The coffee sells well at Arlan's Seabrook store, the Butchers said. *** Lie #3 Red Cloud was not 'lost.' Red Cloud was abandoned and later foundered. Prematurely abandoned at that. All because the crew was frightened to death of fifteen foot seas. Coffee sales will help to pay for the company's next sailing vessel. The Butchers said their next boat is in the early design stages, possibly a 79-foot steel hull schooner that would carry one, 20-foot standard shipping container, about 49,500 pounds of coffee, each trip. They said they want the boat and their products to be eco-friendly. *** Lie #4 Eco friendly my arse! They've been spouting that fantasy now for years and eco-friendly has yet to happen. All the coffee they sell is shipped via standard 'ungreen' ways and means. Look for El Lago to pass out free samples of brewed coffee - including its top seller, the "Boat Roast" - at the island Arlan's from 7 a.m. to about noon Wednesday. **** Whoop-de-doo! If it were so much in demand would they have to give it away for free in the hopes people would feel some duty to buy some? Wilbur Hubbard |
