TRANSLATED FROM DUTCH TO ENGLISH
Arjan van der Veen of the Commercial Boats sailing from Den Helder we got the offer to be shipping goods to Haiti, with the schooner brig “Tres Hombres”.
Soon the 28th day because they would all leave. Lia had been specifically stated that we currently need them and so we had power to collect from all beaten. Resulting in a large trailer full of diapers, vitamins, soap, footwear, apparel and stationery, and some surprises. Wednesday we got this stuff on board and took up about 2.5 m3 cargo space. Tents had already Lia of the Marines, so that we could strike action.
Meanwhile it the “Tres Hombres” and absent when the wind changes, they will leave the ocean. The anticipated time is approximately 4-6 weeks. Advantage of this method of transport is the stuff that the crew itself will solve the port of Jacmel and delivery, it is faster than we stuff through a container with an ordinary freighter would send and then the spot would still have the problem how at the orphanage to get. Except for the Lia “Tres Hombres” is about 50 m3 of supplies on board for a hospital and orphanages.
A special initiative of Captain Arjen van der Veen and commercial vessels sailing the foundation which we are very happy. More information about “Tres Hombres” and sailing on Commercial Boats: http://zeilendehandelsvaart.homestead.com/Algemeen_Tres_Hombres.html
