Capt. Phil Watson of the Bluenose II

The Bluenose II is a 161' schooner based out of Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, Canada, and is a replica of the original Bluenose, a Grand Banks fishing and racing schooner, and possibly the most iconic boat in North America. We talk about the boat's history, construction, operation, and passages. We talk about the crew, how they get the positions, what skills they develop, and what their lives are like.
