Aboard Picton Castle: A painter's journey

Intrepid painter Helen Opie takes a trip on the tall ship Picton Castle, equipped with foul-weather gear, small-craft experience, and a painting journal. The daily watercolours capture both routine and exciting moments as Picton Castle cruises from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to Massachusetts and back. A dozen essays expand upon the visual record and share the artist's experience when she is literally at sea.
