Summer 2020 goes down in the history of the FairTradeTown Halle. 267 kg of sailed coffee were brought from Leipzig to Halle by cargo bike. Six months ago, the beans still weighed in the belly of the Avontuur. The oldest sailing cargo vessel of Germany.
#Mensch, podcast: Environmental activist Peggy Merkur joined the "Timbercoast" project to sail coffee from the Caribbean to Europe as a volunteer. She reports on a 100-year-old sailfreighter over half a year – at a time of growing corona crisis.

The climate sailor Matthias Berg has been on the Avontuur for over 180 days. Voyage 5, clean sea transport with the Timbercoast, a beacon for environmental protection. This sailing expedition shows what is really important in life.
German Podcast: Her goal was to travel through South America - but with Covid 19 (Corona virus) and the associated global shutdown, everything turned out differently. Moni, our youngest female crew member, is now traveling back to Germany. On the fifth trip of Avontuur, our Voyage 5, we have now loaded more than 60 tons of cargo from organic origin and fair trade together. Emotions, backgrounds, everyday ship life, freight, national borders. Background information about our expedition in Corona times.
Voyage 5, an expedition full of challenges, unimagined beauty. I am now revisiting old stories from days of clean world trade. Seafarers sailed hundreds of years ago, carried by winds, in harmony with the elements of the sea. I experience a changing world, see blue expanses, swim in the ocean, see dolphins, sharks, whales and dream of a better future, biodiversity instead of extinction, a sense. Float like in a dream, in the cosmos, the universe and sail across the world's oceans in times of global shutdown, closed borders.
