Messing About In Sailboats: Support the Beagle

Support the Beagle

Whether you are an "evolutionist", "creationist" or "don't-have-a-strong-point-of-viewist", Charles Darwin's voyage in the Beagle to the Galapagos is one of the most important sailing voyages in history.

A British group Called Project Beagle aims to re-create the voyage of the Beagle by building a replica and sailing it to the Galapagos with a group of young students. They plan to do it in 2009, to celebrate the bicentennial of Darwin's birth.

You can keep tabs on them at their blog.

Most importantly you can donate to the fund through Peter McGrath's paypal account one of the organizers.

I have made a donation and if you feel as passionate about what they are trying to do as I do, I encourage you to make donation too. They need the help!
