Voyage of the Harrier is the story of two interlinked circumnavigations under sail. For Charles Darwin the voyage of the Beagle was a young man making his engagement with the world, and it lead to the Darwinian revolution in our view of nature and ourselves. For Julian Mustoe the voyage of the Harrier in the track of the Beagle was his retirement project. He survived stormy weather, a dismasting, shipwreck, attack by smugglers, a broken love affair in Chile, solitude at sea and the effects of ageing. Darwin voyaged to discover his world, Mustoe sailed to realize himself. The accounts in the book of the two voyages serve to illuminate one another and to bring both to life.
