We are talking to former Medical Officer, Dr. Mark Head, of the Tall Ship Picton Castle, a three masted barque.
The Captain is in Bali, Indonesia at the moment and the ship owner is based out of Nova Scotia.
We met Dr. Mark Head in Los Angeles at the end of a coastal train trip from the Bay Area to Los Angeles that ended in Union Station. He is formerly a medical officer of the Picton Castle while it sailed from the Cook Islands to Australia, and has kept the connection alive since he left the ship.
In our show, we are talking about the tall ship, which circumnavigates and takes crew aboard for a number of legs of the entire journey to experience the lifestyle and learn how to sail a tall ship.
Picton Castle’s first world circumnavigation voyage took place from 1997 to 1999. She has since sailed around the world six more times, for a total of seven global circumnavigations.[9] She has also visited the Great Lakes twice, sailed numerous times on tours of the East Coast of the Americas, completed a Caribbean Voyage and in 2008 sailed to Europe, Africa and the Caribbean on a Voyage of the Atlantic.
