The Voyage So Far...

Something to ponder this Sunday... Excerpts from

Something to ponder this Sunday...

Excerpts from an interview with our wonderful founder Alex Geldenhuys & @franclicraftwear, talking about 'Radical Common Sense'.
-
"Using sailing ships to carry cargo has always felt like a common-sense thing to do and I have been in awe and bewildered by how far we technology has drifted from this simple idea of using wind power to move over oceans. I guess we live in a time where we need to fight for the most basic common sense - protecting our planet's rich biodiversity and natural systems is to protect our ability to live here for generations to come.
-
How does your work influence and shape your lifestyle in general and the choices you make as a consumer?
-
Since eating a banana in a forest garden in Brazil, I find it hard to enjoy one as much in England - it just doesn't taste the same. I have been very fortunate to experience different climates and cultures and the food that comes with them and this has had a big influence on how I eat - the experience all together is so much richer than just in its parts and I hope that with Sail Cargo is to share more with people than just a product. My work has also opened my eyes to the devastating negative impact of industrial agriculture, mining and shipping. I also see that we hold a lot of power in the choices we make as consumers, though some of us have far more power than others. So I feel quite strongly that it is the responsibility of those with power to use it wisely and for the benefit of people and planet. When I can afford to, I choose to buy food grown in the UK and Europe and avoid animal products except for rare occasions. Same for everything else, but I wouldn't hold such strict rules to everyone - because good quality is still not accessible to the majority of people, and most of us are just trying to survive.

The Passos family have an all-natural approach, us

The Passos family have an all-natural approach, using only the weather, animals and plants to fertilize and maintain their olive groves.
As well as her own groves, Marije and her team manage others to produce high quality olive oils from the little-known terroir of Coimbra, Central Portugal, where Eucalyptus plantations have sadly destroyed most of the ancient groves.
-
To guarantee quality & taste, they are involved in every minute detail of production. With their refillable organic painted glass bottle, recyclable Bag-in-Box and low-emission logistics @marijepassos hopes to set a good example for current and future generations to make a more positive environmental impact.

An inspiring business and great products too! To order Passeite olive oil sailed on Gallant head to the link in our bio.

"As international trade increases and other sector

"As international trade increases and other sectors decarbonise, global shipping is expected to contribute around 17% of human-caused emissions by 2050." - Christiaan De Beukelaer @sailcargoresearch⠀
-⠀
The IMO, which regulates the global shipping industry, has pledged to halve shipping emissions between 2008 and 2050 while aiming for full decarbonisation. This is a historic move and radical change needs to happen now to get anywhere near close to this target.⠀
-⠀
Some solutions include: retrofitting existing vessels with more efficient propulsion mechanisms & wind assist technologies, switching from bunker fuel to cleaner, more efficient options and ships simply moving slower. ⠀
To learn more about some potential solutions head to our story & read @sailcargoresearch informative article on the subject.⠀

The well-bodied and aromatic wines of Lapo Dos Rei

The well-bodied and aromatic wines of Lapo Dos Reis are produced from the red and gray clay terraces of Podentes, Portugal.⠀
The wines of this region have been recognised for their high quality since the middle ages. This ruby red is a harvest wine, made from Touriga Nacional and Bastardo grapes, aged for six months in French oak barrels and has been awarded a Gold Medal at the Portugal Wine Trophy of 2018 amongst several others.⠀

India is the largest producer of chickpeas worldwide. On average the food mileage for dried chickpeas is 4,580 miles (as the crow flies). Our chickpeas were sailed around 600nm from Porto. Grown by the wonderful Reigado Family on their organic farm in the Cao Valley, northern Portugal.⠀
Dried chickpeas are a great staple for any kitchen, a tasty addition to stews and curries. A really good supply to keep in stock as they last for years if stored correctly.⠀
You can buy our sail cargo chick peas in bulk (5kg) or in a 1kg packet, both coming in paper bags. Just follow the link in our bio.

Excited to taste these @porthillyspiritdistillery cocktails. The Colombian panela sugar we bring across the Atlantic is included in the recipe!

Repost >>
Today we launch Part One of our collaboration with @yallahcoffee, a set of two drinks to be served in their cafe and for the pages of our online cocktail book, using their new sail-traded coffee beans, Las Brisas, as well as the @newdawntraders’ panela, both from Colombia. At Yallah’s roastery at @argalhomefarm, we experimented with brewing methods - from traditional espresso from a machine to a cold brew and ristretto, which is a double shot coffee but with less water. We then went through a cupping process, trying coffees made from different beans like Debeka and Gran Galope combined with Porthilly spirits, and syrups that the team at Yallah created: rosehip, and lavender-lemon combination.

The result was a set of beautiful coffee-based cocktail recipes, which you can find on the pages of our online cocktail book at porthillyspiritdistillery.com and taste at the Yallah Cafe in December.

A humpback whale can transmit a sound across a who

A humpback whale can transmit a sound across a whole ocean. ⠀
A super tanker can also be heard across a whole ocean and the sound of its propellers underwater are sometimes at the same frequencies that whales use.
-⠀
We know a lot about man's impact on oceans in terms of over fishing and plastic pollution, but we don't know much about what happens under the water.⠀
Whales, dolphins and around 800 species of fish rely on sound communication and noise produced through shipping traffic damages their essential acoustic habitats.⠀
-
The acoustic habitat of the Atlantic Right Whale has been reduced by up to 90%. This endangers them finding their breeding & feeding grounds and mates.⠀
Scientist Christopher Clark explains this well through animations in a video on Youtube titled 'Whale communication: The effect of ship noise'⠀
-⠀
Sadly there are not yet laws governing acoustic pollution.
However, the good thing about noise is if you stop making it, it goes away. ⠀
Reducing the number of vessels, their speed and adapting ships schedules to leave longer periods of relative quiet could help assuage the problem.⠀
One of the many benefits of sailing ships is that they move through the ocean quietly and therefore do not disrupt its creatures anywhere near as cruelly as commercial shipping.⠀
Supporting the sail cargo revolution is helping take steps towards a quieter future for the oceans creatures! 🐋🐙🐠

In a week or so the Gallant (@blueschoonercompany)

In a week or so the Gallant (@blueschoonercompany) will leave Brittany and start her voyage across the Atlantic. The Blue Schooner Company are inundated with cargo requests, and could fill the ship three times over! This is a good sign of how our sail cargo movement is growing. The Voyage Coop, that we are the brokers for, has secured a third of the cargo hold for our customers and we're excited to collect goods from our producers in the tropics. Our actions may be small, but they do not go unnoticed!⠀

This year we commissioned a trio of artworks from the talented @adamjavlatham to represent each of our new products. Adam works with Indian-ink fine liners and watercolours to make detailed drawings in a technique reminiscent of natural history illustrations.
-
In each image you can see the @blueschoonercompany Gallant approaching the land with a bird or birds taking centre stage. For more detail take a look at our story.⠀
-⠀
These images and their style are reminiscent of the early voyages of discovery and should for many reasons make us feel uncomfortable. When consulting our Port Ally in Trinidad before printing the chocolate packaging, their feedback was that the image triggered emotions tied to their ancestral trauma from the slave trade. It was a sharp reminder of our white privilege, that from opposite ends of the Atlantic, we can view the same image so differently!⠀
-⠀
With New Dawn Traders we are committed to repurposing the tools of trade for the benefit of all people and the planet. From the traditional ships that we work with AND the business models that we are developing. Trade should create opportunities to build community and regenerate biodiversity, rather than exploit it. ⠀
-⠀
We thought you might appreciate an aesthetic reminder of our collective heritage, where we are coming from and where we should be headed. We are selling A4 and A3 signed giclee prints of Adam's work. All profits from the sale of these posters will go to Falmouth Penryn Welcome Refugee Families @falmouthpenrynwelcome

Amazing scenes, warms our hearts! Our friends @miim_mii & @human.nature.retreat travelled from #Margate to #Portugal to help pick olives with our wonderful producer @marijepassos & @passeite_azeite. With their help next year we will receive the most delicious extra virgin olive oil and jars of olives, sailed across the ocean to us here in #Kent.
Yet again we see the power of friendship, family, community, & openness that comes from working in the way we do with the #sailcargoalliance.
Earth care, people care, fair share - indeed!
This kind of thing makes us hopeful of a brighter future. A better way is possible.

An excellent extra virgin olive oil should be a staple for every kitchen, a magic ingredient that transforms so many dishes - liquid sunshine, green-gold!

Our friends in Portugal will be collecting the last olives for the year from their farms. This is a crazy busy time of year for @passeite_azeite @azeitecaixeiro @emiliareigado and Quinta do Veloso. When picking olives for pressing, timing is key if you want to achieve the right balance between oil content and acidity. This means very little sleep for our olive farmers for the duration of the harvest. It is typical to harvest from sunrise to sunset and to press the oil over night. Our producers aim to get the olives under the grinding stones within 4 hours, which is a serious feat hard to match even with industrialised farming.
-
We still have some sail cargo extra virgin olive oils from the previous harvest available for sale. With the bag-in-box packaging the oils maintain peak freshness till the last drop with a shelf life of 2 years. If you can't wait till the next cargo voyage in the Spring, order from the link in bio or go to http://www.bit.ly/newdawncargo

PANELA & COFFEE!⠀ Panela compliments and balance

PANELA & COFFEE!⠀
Panela compliments and balances the subtle flavours in coffee without being overly sweet. Since panela is made in a simple, natural way, like coffee, the flavour and aromas can vary slightly depending on where it's from. Some panela tastes more fruity or floral, others more like caramel or burnt sugar. A lot of care goes into growing, roasting and brewing coffee & our panela is just as thoughtfully produced.⠀

Why not order some panela to compliment our New Dawn Coffee? ☕️⠀

Colombia has become one of the largest producers a

Colombia has become one of the largest producers and consumers of panela. Its sustainable production has played a crucial role in the development of rural economies as the second largest source of income for farmers after coffee.⠀
Our ‘panela’ comes from the Arhuaco people, an indigenous tribe who live in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a place defined by its mixture of magic and nature. Thirty-five glacier-fed rivers tumble down from the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, irrigating the plains and valleys of Ariguaní and Cesar rivers. With temperatures varying from 15- 20 degrees, it is the perfect location to produce unequalled sugarcane. ⠀
-⠀
Old traditions supported by the newest technology gives this panela its uniqueness. According to tradition, production starts with the moon phase calendar and it is said that the harvest thus acquires the magic of the sun that gives the cane it’s unique sweetness. The panela production here supports 180 families.⠀
-⠀
The Arhuaco have a cultural heritage that extends back to the Tairona who lived in what we now call Colombia going back at least till the 1st Century AD. The cosmology of the Arhuaco focuses on giving to the earth what she’s given to us. Their philosophy is based on the idea that nature and society are interrelated. Having survived the worst of Spanish colonisation by retreating into the mountains, their culture and territories are still under threat. Buying panela from the Arhuaco gives them economic autonomy so that they can take care of their community.⠀

AGUA PANELA & PECAN PANELA BARS!⠀
Panela is such a versatile ingredient. Use it in any baking recipe as a replacement or mix with sugar. Because it is unrefined, panela has so much more goodness than sugar, which makes sweet treats healthier. Head to our story for the recipe!⠀
-⠀
AGUA PANELA⠀
Panela is the main ingredient in this popular Colombian drink. It's served either hot or cold depending on what region of Colombia you're in. Served cold, it's super refreshing almost like a lime ice tea. Served hot, it tastes like a warm sweet-tea. Just mix panela with water and add lime... and maybe some rum if you feel like it!⠀
