The first episode sees the Picton castle finally sets sail but not before the new crew learn all about the ins and outs of the sailing life. Tearful goodbyes are said and the ship heads out into the North Atlantic seas making its way to Panama. The 45 members on-board adjust the the cramped living conditions and deal with their sea-sickness. As they get to know each other and make friends, a new romance is formed on the stormy seas.
The Picton Castle returns to port to an emotional welcome home from all. Andrew gets to see Lauren after 3 months and old crew members Sven and Mac join Lauren as they return to the ship again, for the final sail into Lunenburg. There are mixed emotions from the crew, some of whom are not ready for the journey to be over just yet, and for others they are glad to see it end. The 19 month voyage had come to end but the memories and experiences that these sailors have will live on forever.
