Galveston's Best Coffee
Joe
Edgar
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.

Customs puts a seal on the container. All third world countrys have

In the hull as low as possiable..At the end of this video you can see
the design, the container is to scale. The plan is to have lot's of

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
shit.
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 bastard
design..........

From the very start Joe's so-called 'green' coffee enterprise has been a
lie. Like many dishonest folk these days he is just trying to cash in on the
'green' hysteria by catering to those most likely to fall for that crap -
the Starbuck's liberal latte-drinking losers.
Joe has NO INTENTION of really using wind power alone to deliver his
product. Rather, he is just putting on enough of a show so the liberal
losers will fall for it like they fall for the Al Gore pack of lies.
What's next for Joe? Probably 'Polar Bear Coffee' that has on the package a
skinny-looking polar bear on a tiny melting iceberg. On the back it will say
something like. "Save the Polar Bears, Drink El Lago Coffee - the
hemisphere's only 'green' eco-friendly coffee."
But, since there's a sucker born every minute, he'll probably sell the hell
out of it.

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

Thanks Salty, I'll have to check it out. When I first bought

Well that boat snapping in half sure cost alot more than my loss,

Guess thats part of pushing the envelope and trying new things. All is

You've got several people out here who can't get enough of the Skippers
Choice. I haven't tried the RC finest yet... I'm savoring the SC for now and
keeping people away from it as best as possible.

I was not in a port a thousand miles offshore. The cell phone worked
fine all the way to Hawaii and back. I could call the wife from
anywhere on the ship to anywhere on the ship. They had phone calls
from the room phone to Des Moines or wherever for a couple of bucks a
minute, but the cell phone worked for free. Like I said, it must have
been magic because there was nothing extra from either the cell phone
provider or the ship. We have gone on several Holland-America cruises,
including one from the US to the sea north of Norway to Amsterdam. The
sun didn't set for about four days, not until the ship was below the
Arctic circle. The ship did Caribbean in the Winter and Europe in the
Summer and you can get a no-fly Atlantic crossing if you time it
right. All of their ships have a bar with three floor to ceiling glass
walls. Direct above the pilothouse as a matter of fact. They call
those bars the Crows Nest and all their ships have them. Much better
view than the one the mere Captain has.
