LITHUANIA, July 5th, 2009 - The crew of the Ambersail, a Volvo 60 class yacht, will be returning to Klaipeda, Lithuania on Sunday, July 5th at 9:00 pm (Lithuania time) at the main port after nine-month journey around the world commemorating Lithuania’s Millenium. To welcome the Ambersail home, we will sing our national anthem – not just in Klaipeda, not just in Lithuania, but throughout all the Lithuanian communities around the world at exactly the same time.
We will be the first nation in history to simultaneously declare to the rest of the world, loudly and proudly, it is 1000 years for Lithuania!
The Ambersail’s voyage – the Millenium Odyssey – marks the 1000-year anniversary of the first recorded mention of Lithuania and celebrates the renewal of cultural, economic and spiritual links between the world-wide Lithuanian diaspora and the Homeland and people of Lithuania. The Ambersail sailed from Klaipeda, Lithuania on October 5, 2008, sailing to Lithuanian communities in Europe, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, the United States, Canada and across the Atlantic back through Europe. During the voyage, 120 yachtsmen in 11 crews will have visited 26 Lithuanian communities in 20 different countries on five separate continents.
