French science vessel sails again on climate voyage - Yahoo! News
The French yacht Tara left on Sunday on the second leg of a three-year expedition across the world's oceans to chart the effects of climate change on micro-organisms that produce half our oxygen.
The 36-metre (118-foot) schooner sailed from Cape Town a year after leaving Lorient in western France to head across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans for New Zealand next August as part of a 150,000-kilometre (93,750-mile) journey.
"We are going to Ascension Island -- we'll be there in one month and then in Rio in the middle of October," said captain Olivier Marien shortly ahead of the yacht's departure.
