Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival - So many songs!

Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival

I was invited to one of the segments on one of the days the festival was going on a couple weekends…read moreago.... and I LOVED it! It was the Gospel segment on a Sunday. And the term Gospel was loosely used...mostly just folk music from all over the region... there was all kinds of music played during this segment. And the pure, raw talent of all of the performers were just so fantastic to listen to. Also, I can't say enough about the production they put in... They flawlessly transitioned between performer and performer on the one stage without delays or fumbling around...and at the end, all of them on the one stage all together at one time, it was really a great event. I would recommend this to locals and visitors alike! Don't miss out next year.

We really enjoyed our experience at this museum. The main reason were the very good docents on each…read morefloor. They really got into their topics and so brought the fishing life to life. The key ones were the lobster, dory and the Bluenose. Bringing coins if you want to park on the street. 2CD per hour. We stayed about two hours because the docents were so interesting to talk to. The main parking lot was 4 CD per hour and it was full at 3 o'clock on a Friday in October. Overall nice museum with excelente help, even the front desk people made us feel welcome beyond normal.

At the recommendation of locals, we stopped into the Fisherie's Museum of the Atlantic on our…read morewhirlwind 4 day trip to Nova Scota last month. We made a day of visiting Lunenburg and got to see the Blue Nose. Unfortunately, end of October means the tourism season is over and 50% of the town was shut down and the museum talks, guided tours, and extras were not operational. The Blue Nose was outside and being prepared for winter and was no longer accessible to museum patrons. The upside? I think admission was only $5 as it was off season. Inside, you'll find a small aquarium, artifacts of Atlantic fishing life, and stories galore from rum running prohibition to sea monsters. There's a small movie theatre that has an ongoing rotating display of documentary style films. There are three floors here plus the outside where the Bluenose replica is. Fear not, however, there are elevators if your party requires. All in all, I'd like to come back but when it's tourism season and the displays and tours are active.

Barque Picton Castle - sunset at sea

Barque Picton Castle

Wow. The best experience of my life. Hands down. The Barque…read morePicton Castle is a Sail Training Vessel. This means, even if you have no experience sailing (like me before i went), you can still apply to go on a voyage, learn to sail and see the world. They will teach you to sail. That's what they do best. It's a three masted, square-rigged tall ship. It's no luxury yacht. It's old school traditional sailing with all the grease and tar included. I sailed on World Voyage 5. I did half the voyage, starting in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and ending 15,000nm later in Bali, Indonesia. For a month before we set sail we readied the ship, and ourselves, for the voyage. Everything from loading cement and books and food into the hold, to fire safety and emergency evacuation training, to practicing knots, learning lines and sail commands. There is no way for you to NOT learn on this ship. Once you are underway at sea, you have no choice but to observe and absorb everything around you. But how much you learn is really up to you. Every day at sea you are put onto a 'watch'. Either 12-4, 4-8, or 8-12. Both morning and night. Those hours are spent on deck, keeping the ship running and sailing smoothly. Sail handling when required, steering at the helm, keeping lookout, and various ship maintenance (fixing things, painting things etc.) The hours you have between watch are yours to do with as you wish. For some that means eating and sleeping. But others take full advantage of the incredible learning opportunity and get involved in things like sail making, rigging, reading, carpentry projects etc. There are also workshops during long sea passages on things like Piloting, Charts, Celestial Navigation, cargo and provisioning, or any subject you want to ask the Mates about. I really could go on and on about the complete and full experience sailing around the world can give you. The ship is amazing. The crew are always amazing. The ocean is amazing.

Don't waste $20,000 on this ship or experience.I got a full scholarship and I still wouldn't even…read morerecommend people go. Cockroaches, maggots, not enough food, poor communication on board, too much alcohol and drinking on board, work too much and not a lot of time for fun. Lack of professionalism by officers and crew. This runs like a private little slave ship. Going to each port is cool for like the 2 seconds you spend there and YES you have to work while at port while the officers who you are paying their salary take off on little 1 week vacations. I spent Christmas morning cleaning captain's head. And yes the desire to be on the ocean is great but this ship's environment is toxic. There are definite advantages to going like learning how to sail and wildlife and travelling to different places but I don't see them being worth $20,000 + all the extra money you have to bring. That money could be spent on the same experience somewhere else. Find another tall ship to go on. But if you want to find out for yourself, then go to the Picton Castle.
