RV Heraclitus Homecoming Tour

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.
