Darwin and Fitzroy:

Charles Darwin's Beagle diary 7, 8 and 9th July, Beagle has set sail from and the poor chap was sick as a dog. Meanwhile (though gritted teeth) thank you to the Dispersal of Darwin for reminding me that it was Commander Robert Fitzroy's anniversary on 5th July and Beagleblog missed it. So a belated happy birthday to him.
