Tomorrow (in 1835) the Beagle arrives in the Galapagos and conducts an exhausive survey of the islands. Many interesting entries not only in both Diary, but also in Fitzroy's Journal. Don't miss it.
The Beagle Diary was later used to write Darwin's famous book 'Voyage of the Beagle' (1839). The narrative of the surveying voyages of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle between the years 1826 and 1836. Darwin describes each day of the voyage, some in intimate detail, during the Beagle's circumnavigation of the globe.
