RV Heraclitus: I Saw The Light
http://latestnewsfromthervheraclitus.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-saw-light.html
Saturday, August 14, 2010. I Saw The Light. I Saw The Light. I have never been one to exclaim that I've seen the light, but this time I feel compelled to write about it, as I am now a true believer. As they say, seeing is believing, and for me, seeing twice is believing. Whatever explanation for the light you gravitate to, if you are the type who requires explanations, or perhaps you are simply comfortable accepting it as a part of the Heraclitus' magic, it now has a place in Heraclitean history.

http://latestnewsfromthervheraclitus.blogspot.com/2010/08/voyage-from-azores-to-tangier-11th-of.html
Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Voyage from Azores to Tangier, 11th of august 2010, day 5 by Claus. Yesterday was grey until the late afternoon, so we did not stop to go for a dip…. Today it shall be - I promised, and in 30 minutes from now we will stop and go for a swim in over 3500 meters of water. Strongly demanded especially by China-Mo because supposedly only above 40 degrees north this is a manly exercise that might even make your chest hair grow – we will see. Interesting but also disturbing that, when ...

RV Heraclitus: Voyage from Tangier to Valencia, September 10th 1010 by Claus
http://latestnewsfromthervheraclitus.blogspot.com/2010/09/voyage-from-tangier-to-valencia_10.html
Friday, September 10, 2010. Voyage from Tangier to Valencia, September 10th 1010 by Claus. Morocco was all worth it and beyond. Thank you Manno, Gordon, Pablo, Omar – the fine gentleman that caught the lines upon arrival, just after sunset 3 weeks ago after a rough crossing under reefed mainsail across the legendary straits of Gibraltar. Tangier was so very civilized and colorful and different – maybe even more so during Ramadan. The magic calls for prayer…. A real port – dirty but organized, windy...

RV Heraclitus: Valencia 9/24 by Abi Shapiro

Saturday, September 25, 2010. Valencia 9/24 by Abi Shapiro. A new day has dawned on the RV Heraclitus; an expedition completed, captain departed and expedition chief off on land to the place where the ship was designed effectively leaves this beautiful entity in our hands. Excitement pulsates throughout the ship as we organize ourselves and find our own methods of creating a synergetic flow of energy with which to operate. Good luck, my captain. Good luck to everybody there. I love you all. Theatre of Al...

Thursday, August 19, 2010. Voyage from Azores to Tangier, August 20th 2010, day 14 by Claus. Heraclitus is working hard into a force 5 easterly wind. Sails are pulled in tight, we have just changed to a starboard tack to get again closer to the Spanish coast, to find protection from a windward shore. The ship is only doing 2.8 knots on 1200 RPM. Heading for Cabo Trafalgar at the moment - kiss me Hardy. Speed is averaging on a meager 2.5 knots. Radio email processed by SailMail.

Saturday, August 14, 2010. Voyage from Azores to Tangier, August 14th 2010, day 7 by Claus. Finally at about 15:00 we turned the engine off and and started to sail in about 15 knots from NE - wonderful, we got what we wanted and can take it well from our current position, wind is slowly increasing in strength and just a little before the port beam. We are heading towards Cabo de Sao Vicente on 125 degrees with up to 4 knots right now. I hope the wind will stay, so far we blew about 1/3 of our fuel. The n...

Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Voyage from Azores to Tangier, August 19 2010, day 13 by claus. Last night was excellent. We raced down the west coast of Portugal towards Cabo de Sao Vicente and finally turned east towards Cadiz around midnight. For a few hours the ocean became very rough while the north wind put our rigging to a fine test. The radar, packed with targets became a useful toy and helped to make sense of all those moving lights -. Plenty of cargo ships, cruise liners and busy fishermen around.

Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Voyage from Azores to Tangier, August 17th 2010, day 11 by claus. The wind has been pumping nicely from NNE for the past 24 hours and we are sailing on 4 points behind the port beam, averaging between 5 and 6 knots. If we continue like this we will see the the lighthouse of Cabo de Sao Vicente to port side by tomorrow night, from there it is only another 180 nautical miles to Tangier. Currently we are lucky and are riding inside the western edge of a strong wind system, it is ca...
