2024 Golden Rule Voyage Begins!

The Golden Rule peace boat departed from Humboldt Bay in northern California on Sunday July 28 at 5:10 am, crossing into the ocean around 6 am!

We’re headed for the Pacific Northwest, and will stop in 16 Washington, Oregon and British Columbia ports over the next two months

……..The VFP Golden Rule Project is delighted to announce that Michelle Marsonette has joined our team as Project Co-Manager!  

This much-needed organizational boost is made possible by the generous donations of the Golden Rule’s loyal supporters. Thank you! The job of coordinating boat repairs, captains and crews, organizing events, producing a newsletter, fundraising and much more is way too big for one person. We now have two half-time Project Co-Managers, but we all know this is no half-time job. Helen Jaccard, who has been Project Manager for almost ten years, is VERY happy to have Michelle aboard……………………..

 Jeju Island woman Kim A-Hyun Joins Golden Rule Crew

………………………..now there is another. South Korean activists resisting the expansion of a U.S. military base on Jeju island were inspired by the prospect of the Golden Rule’s planned 2020 visit to Asia. Covid stopped us from making that voyage, but it didn’t stop them. They decided to restore another boat, Jonah’s Whale, and they sailed from Jeju to Okinawa, Taiwan, and several other island nations. Last year they completed a 107-day voyage, with the mission to unite the various struggles against the militarization of their islands.

The VFP Golden Rule Project is delighted to announce that a Jonah’s Whale crew member, Ms. Kim A-Hyun (her nickname is Shik-Cho) will be on the Golden Rule crew for our Pacific Northwest voyage……………………
