This morning we received confirmation from the owners of the schooner Halie & Matthew, that we can charter her for our second relief voyage to Haiti.

The volume of supplies had become so overwhelming, that we approached the owners of the schooner Halie & Matthew because we needed a larger vessel. We had over 40,000 lbs of relief supplies that needed to get to Haiti, and Liberty could only take a quarter of that. Four trips on Liberty would mean four times the expense, and time is running out. Hurricane season is coming soon.

With the schooner Halie & Matthew waiting to sail north to start her season in Maine, she is ideally positioned to be used as a relief vessel to Haiti, and then our crew will deliver her to Maine.

She is a beautiful, newly constructed schooner, capable of taking 100 passengers on deck during a daysail, and 30 for overnight trips. On behalf of the crew of the schooner Liberty, we want to say thank you very much for allowing us the use of your vessel for such a worthy cause. We look forward to working with you more in the future. Visit their website here to learn more.
