This weekend the crew has been busy loading by han

This weekend the crew has been busy loading by hand not less than 19000 bottles of the finest natural wines from several small and committed french producers. Even two barrels of the legendary Anjou Olivier Cousin found their place on board!
Some of these talented wine artisans as tradition came over to deliver their own cargo, joining the loading operations alongside the crew, sharing and enjoying some pure time together.
Ours aren't merely commercial operations. There is so much humanity, love, passion and dedication that is difficult to image this is actually hard work!
Loading is only a part of the operation, the stowing is the biggest challenge. Imagine a giant tetris of many different sized boxes that have to be stowed and secured at best in the hold to endure their voyage under sails. It can be fun but it isn't an easy task! Well done to our crew for succeeding once again.

These wines are awaited in Copenhagen and Bornholm from our friends and partners @rosforthrosforth and @sabotoeren who firmly believe in what we do and strongly support how we do it.
With such people on our side, everything becomes possible.

Thanks to Romain Serafini @seraaaf from the project @yaka_world for being on board with us for this first leg and provide us with these beautiful images.

Our good ship Tres Hombres and her awesome crew ar

Our good ship Tres Hombres and her awesome crew arrived to her first summer trip destination: Les Sables de Olonnes, France.

It has been a quick leg which took only one week from Amsterdam and the North Sea to the inside of the Bay of Biscay. Despite its shortness it has been an intense leg during which the crew operated all possible sailing manoeuvres and experienced all possible weather scenarios and wind patterns.
After passing the Dover Strait at 12knots, hoisting the stud sails to harness the fair winds and make the best out of the favorable conditions sailing fast along the English coast of the Channel, the crew chilled in some oily waters and windless sunny days before being hit after Ouessant by a heavy kick of strong winds and high seas due to an Atlantic low pressure that showed what real Biscay can be: rough, enduring and adventurous.
The full experience!

Finally, the ship and the crew have been warmly welcomed by a little fleet of local historical sailing vessels and a waving crowd on the canal walls which traditionally are dedicated to greeting the Vendee Globe participants. A nice surprise, indeed! There is nothing better than arriving into port at the sight of friendly smiles and...enjoy the taste of fresh local oysters once all lines are secured!

Tomorrow the operations to load the cargo of fine french natural wines will begin and crew after a well deserved day off is keen to fill up the hold!

Another brilliant 6 months season of sailing aroun

Another brilliant 6 months season of sailing around the Atlantic Ocean collecting cargo from Ireland, France, La Palma, Barbados, Martinique, Dominican Republic and the Azores is closed.
~
The crew was taking some well deserved rest while the ship got prepared in the waters of @kaapdegroenehoopndsm in the heart of Amsterdam before setting sail again for the summer trip.
~
What now remains is the salty taste of a pure collection of memories for the people that lived this adventure, the lessons, the challenges, the new friendships. And this is the most precious thing besides the cargo!
~
Congratulations to all the sailing crew, who secured the clean shipment from A to B of cargo sourced with dedication and commitment.
Congratulations to our office crew, whose constant hard work behind the sails makes everything possible.
Congratulations to all our customers, who believe in our mission and choose us as partners.
Congratulations to all our producers, who supply us with all these extraordinary quality goods that we are proud to sail and to offer.
~
By being and working together we can make the impossible possible, so many thanks and congratulations to all then!

The last "touchdown!" has been shout, all the bags

The last "touchdown!" has been shout, all the bags, boxes and barrels are out, the cargo hold is empty now and ready to be filled up again.
Well done Tres Hombres' team and thanks everyone for your hard work!

It has been an atypical and weirdly calm unloading for the crew due to covid restrictions which kept quiet the traditional buzzing pier usually crowded with friends, families, visitors and curious people.
As on the ship we learn to appreciate the good things we have and to look at the bright sunny side of life, we won't complain about what didn't happen and instead praise what we did enjoy.
The quietness created a rare and intimate post-arrival opportunity for the crew to work together one last time and close their loop, focusing on securing the cargo till the ultimate destination without dealing with outer distractions and celebrate this moment privately before everyone set sails towards new horizons. Welcome back to our old friends and welcome in the family to our new ones! We hope you enjoyed the ride and we wish you all fair winds in your lives, it has been a pleasure to have you on board Fairtransport.

Another year, another crew, another journey, another taste. The 2021 rum will be bottled in a few weeks and soon you'll be able to purchase the new edition in our online store. We just can't wait to taste it, what about you?

Today our good flagship Tres Hombres successfully

Today our good flagship Tres Hombres successfully completed her roundtrip around the Atlantic Ocean after 155 days at sea!

Well done, once again, everyone.

Here at Fairtransport we wish to thank our community for the support we get, which is the real wind in our sails.

As tradition dictates, we would love to invite you to celebrate this moment with us during the unloading of the cargo, but unfortunately times are difficult for such events and we must trim the sails accordingly to the corona rules.

Unfortunately we are obliged to ask you all to understand we won't be able to provide the great public party we all desire and are happy to organize every year. Please fully understand that even only the usual welcome gathering doesn't comply to the rules. We can't change this, as much as we can't control the wind at sea. We trust and count on your collaboration.

May we gather and celebrate, raise our glasses and toast to the good times, all together soon.
