The Schooner Avontuur arrived Tuesday, and works as a cargo ship. Originally from the Netherlands, it was in regular cargo service between 1920 and 2005. After working as a day sailer for a few years, in 2014 it became an ambassador for wind powered global trade. 

the ship had a very nautical entry to port over the noon hour, with the pilots guiding the ship into port via radio from the pilot station, before boarding just inbound of Maugers Beach. The ship tied up at pier 25.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The coffee is all loaded and ready to be sailed to 🇩🇪 & 🇨🇦! Here, at the port in Veracruz, it is mandatory to use stevedores. As such these gentlemen worked quick in the 30° heat to load 25 tonnes of AVONTUUR Coffee, Teikei Coffee, and Just Us Coffee in only 2.5 hours. Now only 2.5 months till we arrive in Hamburg! Thank you to all parties that made this day so special. #cargoundersail ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸@verenabruening
