Ship’s work: Remember all the work we had to do to prepare the ship to enter the Canal (yards, davits, etc)? Today’s work was to undo all of that work.

Notes from the Captain: Pilot Steve said his time piloting on Picton Castle was “the best thing I have done this year”. Fell in love with our ship cat Fiji (who wouldn’t!).  Nothing feels quite so good as showing Picton Castle to someone so enthusiastic. It is invigorating. Expect calm passage across Lake Ontario.
