#Repost @pictoncastle ⛵️ ・・・ Attention a #Repost @pictoncastle ⛵️ ・・・ Attention all sailors, dreamers and adventurers! The Barque Picton Castle is bound around the world in the spring of 2021. You can sail as trainee crew on this incredible circumnavigation voyage. Sailing deep sea and learning the way of a ship is our life for just about a year. Sailing 30,000 nautical miles and putting into ports like Panama, Pitcairn Island, Tahiti, Fiji, Bali, Cape Town, St. Helena, Grenada and Bermuda, all while becoming an accomplished seafarer and learning seamanship skills hands-on through sailing a square-rigged ship is the ultimate voyage. You become one of the crew. No sailing experience is necessary as you will get plenty of experience on this voyage!

It's time for an Insta-Takeover! 📸 👏Introduc It's time for an Insta-Takeover! 📸 👏Introducing Margot W. and Aaron B. Margot and Aaron are 2019-2020 #ClassAfloat Alumni who will be attending the @pictoncastle Bosun School in Lunenburg for 6 weeks this summer! ⛵️ Coming to Bosun School means entering the Atlantic Bubble ➡️ and entering the Atlantic Bubble means a mandatory 2 week isolation period. So before joining the Picton Castle, Margot and Aaron are hanging out at a cottage in LaHave, Nova Scotia. They will be sharing their final days of isolation along with their Bosun School adventures with us here on Instagram through our stories and feed over the next few weeks. We hope you'll enjoy seeing their posts and following along in the journey! Feel free to reach out to them, interact and ask questions.

#Repost @pictoncastle ⛵️ ・・・ The Bosun S #Repost @pictoncastle ⛵️ ・・・ The Bosun School is a shore-based, hands-on skills development program for ambitious young mariners with an emphasis on rigging ship and boat maintenance, and extensive small boat handling. It is plenty of work and salty good times.⠀ ⠀ The next session of the Bosun School will run from July 20 to August 28, 2020 at Picton Castle's home base in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada⠀ ⠀ There is no fee for this upcoming session of the Bosun School, and room and board is included. Applications are accepted from mariners of all nationalities, but current travel restrictions may prevent those from outside of Canada and outside of the province of Nova Scotia from attending.  For those requiring a visa to enter Canada, only a temporary resident visa is required, not a student visa. ⠀ ⠀ For those who are not able to join us in person, this summer's Bosun School will also be posted online for viewing at home. If you would like more information on how to join the Bosun School online, please email danielle@picton-castle.com⠀ ⠀ In order to apply, please send your CV and a letter to info@picton-castle.com that tells us more about you, your seagoing experience and your motivation for wanting to become a Bosun School student.
