Apparent Winds Expedition

The Apparent Winds Circumnavigation began in 2019 aboard SV J. Henry. The mission was to circumnavigate the world while seeking out individuals organizations and communities who are working to restore and preserve the natural environment and cultural identity. The circumnavigation was planned to span two years. In 2020, the global pandemic halted J. Henry and her crew from continuing around the globe. With the changes in itinerary, came new perspective. Apparent Winds has taken the lessons learned from the first expedition aboard J. Henry, and is now planning a progression into a larger expedition which will share the experiences and opportunities of a global expedition with a wider audience.

A larger sailing research vessel is at the heart of Apparent Wind’s next expedition. In addition to continuing our current mission, this new vessel will allow Apparent Winds to help conduct and provide a platform for marine research. The vessel will also allow for the experience of the global expedition to be shared with more people. Our goal is to learn what we can, share what we can and help in the global effort to revive our natural environment while inspiring others to find their own avenues to become impactful stewards of the planet for generations to come.

This new chapter in Apparent Winds is designed to be a continuous sailing expedition around and throughout the world. Each year, Apparent Winds will collaborate with partners to conduct marine research, provide educational opportunities both aboard and in the classroom, and continually document and share the journey through a strong communications program.

We are asking you to help us to get this mission up and running. This initial phase of fundraising is to help raise money to acquire the vessel, make repairs, start our non-profit, and set sail!
