May 1, 2008, I will be starting  on a 12+ month adventure. I will be a sail trainee aboard the Tall Ship, Barque Picton Castle. She is a 179 foot steel hull, 3 mast, square rig ship. The voyage starts and ends in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. During the voyage we will be visiting many ports in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. I hope to maintain a travel blog during the voyage and upload photographs there. The blog is called Atlantic Rounds. The ship also maintains a log and current position that is also updated during the voyage. The Picton Castle website has all the fine details about the voyage as well as links to track the ship. Quick Itinerary of the Atlantic Voyage- Leg 1 - Lunenburg to Bergen, Norway via Ireland, UK, Denmark and the Aland Islands
- Leg 2 - Norway to Mallorca, Spain via Netherlands, Germany, UK and France
- Leg 3 - Spain to Grenada via Madeira Islands, Canary Islands, Senegal, Cape Verde and Fernando de Noronha
