AVONTUUR VOYAGE 4 \/ WEEK 32<\/strong>
\n– The Gulf Stream<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Captain Joachim and crew have arrived in Halifax, Canada!\u00a0 After 30 days of sailing cargo into two sets of heavy headwinds both in the Gulf of Mexico and as they approached Halifax, the crew have again persevered and arrived in Atlantic Canada.\u00a0 A monumental achievement as the Port of Halifax hasn’t welcomed a sailing cargo vessel since the mid twentieth century.\u00a0 Furthermore, this entire process was made possible only after 8 months of exchanges between TIMBERCOAST, port stakeholders, the importer, and the exporter.\u00a0 In order to make such a cargo operation financially viable in Canada and also in the US, sailing cargo vessels and their cargo partners need the support of all port stakeholders to be able to bypass some of the enormous costs ($10k -20k) associated with your average port call in this region.\u00a0 Thank you to all parties for their unwavering support, the future is bright for community sail cargo.<\/p>\n

In Halifax, we have just discharged 2.6 tonnes of Fairtrade and organic coffee for Just us Coffee.\u00a0 This particular coffee as well as AVONTUUR coffee and Teikei coffee was loaded in Veracruz, Mexico.<\/p>\n

Over 40 coffee farmers in their families joined us on the AVONTUUR in Veracruz. Truly a magical day for everyone. 📷 Verena Br\u00fcning<\/p><\/div>\n

Our Veracruz hosts, Ensambles and Teikei, put on a spectacular welcoming for our crew.\u00a0 We were visited on board by the coffee farmers and their families for whom some had never been to the sea side before never mind set foot on a ship that transported their coffee.\u00a0 Through translators provided by Ensambles the farmers and crew were able to share a laugh and learn about each other\u2019s crafts.\u00a0 Afterwards our crew was invited to one of the farms that grow some of the coffee (some crew had never seen a coffee plant before) and learn first hand how their communities depend on growing world class organically certified coffee.\u00a0 A truly unique port call bridging the gap between growers, sailors, and soon enough European sailed coffee lovers.<\/p>\n
