The 2020 October Cargo run was focused on Malt, expanding our collaboration with Hudson Valley Malt. We loaded 110 50 lb sacks in Hudson using pedal powered technology including an Upcycles Trike, a Carla Cargo Trailer and a Tern E-bike to get malt to the fixed dock in Hudson. Then we used an old Jib Sail as a "malt slide" to load the bags onto the vessel, the loading was quite efficient. In addition to the malt we also loaded 2 cases of Hot Sauce from our new shipping partner Poor Devil Peppers here in Hudson.

We delivered malt to breweries along the way. First Millhouse in Poughkeepsie, then Newburgh Brewing and finally Sing Sing Kill in Ossining. In Newburgh we took on additional cargo as well, loading 3 barrels from new shipping partner Spirits Lab Distilling. 2 barrels are full of Rye Whiskey that will be double barrel aged in handmade barrels from Quercus Cooperage aboard Apollonia for the next 12 months. The final barrel was empty and delivered to Poor Devil Peppers in Hudson to have hot sauce finished inside to create a unique flavor. We are very excited to have Apollonia connecting different makers and producers in this fashion.

We ended the run in Kingston at the Hudson River Maritime Museum where we delivered the final cargo, 2 cases of hot sauce to Village Coffee and Goods in Kingston. After this was done the crew down-rigged the vessel, marking an end to a successful first season on the Hudson River.
