Good work, Joe and Terry.
But why take a heavy steel container on board?
.. There must be a way to contain the coffee in lighter, packing that could
be unloaded anywhere without having to get heavy lifting gear to remove your
cargo. A light mobile crane should be the maximum requirement.

For several reasons Edgar,

When we started the company our plan was to get a load of Mexican
Puma. That plan was nixed because the brokers and the farm were scared
to death to load a cargo at a non secure location. They were afraid we
would all be mistaken for drug runners and killed by the local drug
lords for stepping on their turf. The only place they agreed to load
us was a secure shipping port. Due to the port set-up it would have
been impossiable to load not to mention the cost of hiring union
workers to load the cargo by hand. Sitting at the public warf in
belize was a hassle. Every drug dealer in town meet on the warf at
night to smoke and deal. The one night we did not anchor out was the
night of the shoot out between rival gangs from Mexico and Belize
right at the head of the dock.


Second, we can pre-secure the cargo, and clear it from customs so
that there will be no delays what so ever in loading a container and
departing. As you know we missed a weather window by 1 day due to a 1
week delay by US customs, a 5 day delay due to tropical storm Olga,
the a 6 day delay because the cargo was not ready to be loaded when we
arrived in Belize. Our original goal was to be back in port before
December 1 missing the first frieght train northern that hits here
every year.

So for security, and cost savings and logistics a standard container
is the way to go to any port. We can load and depart in about 30
minutes and the cost is around a thousand bucks. Here in the US we can
offload at will and take our time, overseas thats a big hassle. I had
to threaten one Pirate wanna be with a USMC Bolo to keep off the boat
and out of the way while loading. I seriously thought I was going to
have to hack on him to get him to understand how serious I was about
no one boarding the vessel. My biggest concern was a local planting
drugs on the boat for the local cops so they could take my boat. No
one was every allowed on the vessel and never was the boat left alone.

The cops did raid my brother and a local we hired to secure supplies.
A dozen cops in 5-6 cars zoomed in all at once and took our rented
golf cart, supplies and guide. They assumed our guide was delivering
the goods and they were going to make a major bust. Turns out the
boxes my bro loaded from the guides house only had sea shells and
coral the guide gave him. We got the guide out of jail for a case of
beer the police stole or lost from the cart.

Glad to hear it, and wish good luck and safe sailing to all involved.

I've read another reply you posted to the thread, about your encounters
with drug gangs and other undesirables. Wouldn't it be better to buy
your coffee elsewhere (I may have missed that you are)? How are you
going to be certain that your coffee isn't tampered with at the place of
origin (stuff smuggled in the container)?

I'm guessing that the container isn't going to be completely full of
coffee, front-to-back and top-to-bottom, 'cos that's a lot of weight
that isn't very low down. I'd be very interested to see the design of
the boat. Several design challenges are of interest - where do you put
the container? Where does/do the mast(s) go? Living quarters? How do you
keep water out of the hold? All interesting stuff, please post details
when available, or post a link to a web-site.

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?

You must have not seen his 'plans' which are more like line drawings.

The fool has the container sitting right on the deck between the masts
causing a negative stability curve when loaded. I suggested he recess it
into the hull until it rested in the bilge but he had some dumb excuse why
it was better way up high where it would capsize the boat if it heeled more
than 30 degrees.

Joe's no engineer for sure.

Good to see you abandoned your original silly idea of having the container
on deck between the masts and placed it low as possible as I suggested.

Now, if you follow my next bit of good advice you might just succeed.

-- Hire a professional captain and crew to run the new boat.

There is no problem. You know what was loaded and as long as the seal
remains un-tampered with then there are no suprises. A couple of pad
locks and a trip right to a secure shipping port to await loading.
Every coffee port in the world is surrounded with secure containers
waiting to be loaded.

Hey JOe
I finally took a look at your lines.
Looks like ya got yourslf a modified gaff rigged Texas Scow Scooner.
Why the gaff rig? Because ya got a shallow draft boat with a drop
center board....... ?

1) why ya going with something so shallow. That rig wont point worth
****.

2) I emagin that center board aint worth much since your container is
sitting right on top of the CB trunk.

3) Most those "traditional working sail" designs have huge "barn door"
rudders but yours looks like a corn flake. Do you plan on just
motoring. I cant see how that litte rudder will be much use. But with
all those sails Id hope you could trim it to sail straght.

4) are you going for a media look to impress those who are not
familure with turn of the century working sail designs. Please dont
tell me your going to be in "undevelped harbors" seeking your coffee
and there for need a shallow draft center board. Why not use twin
LEEBOARDS? Or better yet, get an old gulf shrimper and stick a flag
pose in the middle of it and call it a sailboat.............

Howard I Cappell would roll over in his grave if he saw that *******
design..........

Good luck

In other words, you got lucky. I've been on several cruise ships in
the last few years and they all had satellite internet available at
about $1/minute. They also have their own onboard WiFi systems but
all that I've seen were secured. It sounds like your boat also had
their own cellular system but it's possible that you were in a US port
at the time and connecting the regular way. I've been able to do
that in Puerto Rico and the USVI using my regular aircard.

It's not a good idea to mix different ones in a package (just like I kept
them
separate in the plastic bags) because the scents are strong and will
'infect' each other if they're right next to one another. And the
smells are specific and distinct enough that you wouldn't want that.

Hello Jon,

Glad you liked the Boat Roast it is our biggest seller.
What did you think of the RedClouds finest, and Skippers Choice?

We are expecting a big boost in sales on Galveston Island, had a nice
story published in the largest magazine for the locals. And we have
been passing out samples to all the boat fleets.

Soon we hope to announce a national chain that will be selling El

We are expecting a big boost in sales on Galveston Island, had a nice
story published in the largest magazine for the locals. And we have
been passing out samples to all the boat fleets.

Soon we hope to announce a national chain that will be selling El
Lago Coffee.

Hey Joe. *Just ordered a pound of each.
Didn't see Boat Roast on the website, but put it in the order.
Do me a favor and handle this yourself.
You reminded me of my Navy days, so make sure Bob isn't around to ****
on my coffee.

Hey Joe... just wanted to say thanks for getting the coffee to me. And,
thanks for the Boat Roast sample, which was excellent. As soon as it's out,
I'll be tasting the whole bean brews.

Hey, Joe. I was thumbing through the latest edition of Sail Magazine,
and Redcloud was mentioned. It was a timeline covering "40 Years of
Sail Mag".- Hide quoted text -

Thanks Salty, I'll have to check it out. When I first bought
RedCloud they published a story called "Fetching RedCloud". They may
be publishing "The Coffee Boat" if we can come to terms on $ and I can
get it finished... I'm at around 320 pages and just getting to the
part where we got our guide out of jail for 1/2 a case of beer that
the police stole from my brother..That happened the day before we
departed Ambergris Caye and the night after the shootout on the beach
in front of Big Daddy's and the Blue Moon.

It wasn't much of a mention, but I thought it was pretty cool that you
were in there at all. Some of the other events were things like
Americas Cup Boats snapping in half!- Hide quoted text -

Well that boat snapping in half sure cost alot more than my loss,
sorta removes the sting a tiny bit. Also recently received a nice
letter of support from Pete Goss, he had a boat snap in half as well.
Guess thats part of pushing the envelope and trying new things. All is
good if you live and learn and keep moving forward.

Already sent it to the El Lago order address. Don't want to confuse
things. This is my real name, same as on the order.
My main concern is you keep Bob away from my damn coffee.
He might be picking up bad habits from the bayou boys.

Bob's never been to the Bayou, infact Bob is not even real he's just
an amusing puppet I like to make dance. If he were on the Bayou, in
Fouchon, with his attitude he would be gone or crawdaddy food within a
few days.

I'll check again, perhaps our server is having problems, as I did not
see your order.

Best Regards,
Joe
