"The unidentified woman, who is Canadian and has some experience on boats, was on a shelter deck in the rear of the vessel, which Moreland said is considered a safe area."Unfortunately, a search has not recovered the missing woman, but there is still possibly hope as she went overboard in warmer waters. Very disheartening news.
It certainly serves as a reminder to us all of how powerful the ocean really is, and even when one is on board such a magnificent sailing vessel as the Barque Picton Castle.
