Courier Report FER-2485 DISPATCHED: 31/10/18 DELIVERED: 03/11/18 kate rich Hauled 10L olive oil and 2KG coffee in 2 small yet dense backpacks from my flat in central Bristol to Pervasive Media Studios on the harbourside, for PhD supervision meeting. (Travelling by train to Utrecht but flying back, in order to meet 10 box micro-shipment of olive oil on sail ship from Porto direct into Bristol harbour, fingers crossed. https://feraltrade.org/shipment/FER-2471.html). After 2.5 hours intensive meeting, substantial tracts of understanding re the PhD process / practice are conveyed, hopefully each way, and trader departs for another on foot trek to the station, sensibly calculating the bus would be slower. Train to London & overnight accommodation near Farringdon with meta-host and valued friend who is skillfully navigating Halloween, 5 teenagers watching Carrie and a midnight pickup of recently neutered pet rabbits from the vet. Early AM depart for Utrecht goes sleekly except for detained at Eurostar security for carrying an entirely lawful pocket knife of less than 3 inch blade that doesn't lock. A known risky insistence on knowing the law & determination to retrieve the device propels trader into the edgy situation of train departing in 20 minutes and equally strategically stubborn Eurostar security staff as if by magic slowing down the negotiations, which culminates in the woman who is not searching the 2x 5L olive oil backpacks refusing to lift them out of the detention area as they are too heavy, but surprisingly she relents to allow me in to pick them up myself. Shortly afterwards I unexpectedly win the entire encounter, convincing the security employee in charge that while many Opinel knives lock this one doesn't. Knife returned and I catch the Amsterdam-direct bound train with minutes to spare, sharing travel tips with a Dutch woman kindly queuing behind me. [IBEX report: Carte Grise +1]. Changed to a local train from Rotterdam to Utrecht central, from where bags are gladly depot at the nearby NH hotel & 2 days later lugged on 20 minute walk to deliver at Casco.

Anton Mann Hi Kate.. Sorry slow getting back ...literally I'm told your oil is in the warehouse in Porto We will be there Monday am .We plan to get a truck and get cargo to ship and load tomorrow at high water .. The ship had to move to another location opposite bank. My friend I'm staying with lives on the opposite side so it is sort of working out
kate rich The engineless ship Nordlys arrived in the port of Fowey, Cornwall, on Oct 12th, missing the annual Sail Cargo Alliance meeting by 4 days, & laden with 14 crates of wine and mixed goods for Xisto Wines, olive oil for New Dawn Traders and the Feral Trade olive oil, 3x bottles of which were pre-sold quayside to Bessie Ellen and Nordlys ships cooks. Anton from Xisto mustered 4 trucks to transport the cargo up to Bristol on the Monday 16th, coinciding exactly with Hurricane Ophelia. As 7m swells caused the Nordlys to be tugged out of harbour to the safety of the open sea, a cargo tender was rustled together out of a small boat with added plywood for high-sided protection from the wilder waves. Cargo eventually ferried ashore and unloaded at the jetty of a nearby campsite from where the trucks were able to load. Transported by road to Xisto Wines' lockup in Bristol, and delivered to Feral Trade in 2x carloads on the friday & saturday of that week.
