Its time to go....

1835AD, 17th October, Galapagos, Darwin is picked up from the Galapagos island.

Having spent 5 weeks in the Galapagos islands Darwin brings back on board a reasonable sized haul of plants, animals, rocks and insects. From here Captain FitzRoyreturns HMS Beagle to Albermarle Island and spends the night sailing along the coast. At this time the currents were week and so HMS Beagle sailed on to Wenman and Culpepper Islands. On the evening of the 20th October strong winds develope and so the crew raise the sails and set course for the Island of Tahiti, 3,200 miles.

This picture is based on the painting HMS Beagle in the Galapagos, 17 October 1835 2.15 p.m., by John Chancellor.
