RV Heraclitus Comes Home!
Brings Message to SAVE CORAL REEFS!
RVH Homecoming Tour
September - November 2003
After
circumnavigating the globe and sailing over 200,000 sea miles, RV Heraclitus
(RVH)
is returning home for the very first time since it was built and launched in
Oakland, California in 1975. On May 4, 2003, the Heraclitus crew set sail
from Guam for a journey across the Pacific to bring international attention to
the coral reef crisis.
Sailing north,
charting its course in the way of the ancient mariners – by stars, winds and
currents – the Heraclitus completed the 142 day, 6,000 mile journey and
arrived in Port Angeles, Washington on September 23rd. The RV
Heraclitus will sail down the West Coast for a series of scientific,
educational, high profile media and fundraising events in San Francisco, Oakland
and Los Angeles during October and November.
