Biologist Sarah Darwin and GCT Ambassador is sailing on a voyage of discovery, following in the wake the of her famous great-great grandfather.
Sarah embarked on her ambitious round the world expedition with her husband and two children in the Dutch clipper Stad-Amsterdam, starting from the same Devon port, Plymouth, where Charles Darwin set sail on HMS Beagle 178 years ago.
According to Sarah: "The whole point about science is getting it into the public area and we hope that it what this voyage will achieve. For me it will be a very moving and incredible feeling to be in remote places that my great-great grandfather was in 180 years ago."
