They say the view from the cockpit of a small boat is just as good as the one from a big boat. But let’s be honest—it’s actually better.

Dave Dawson writes: My wife, Caroline, and I attended the Downrigging Festival in Chestertown, MD, last weekend. This is always a spectacular event, pulling together most of the active tall ships on the East Coast. There’s a lot of music and food, too. Attendees can go out for a sail on the ships or take deck tours to check them out. In this photo, Caroline surveys the docked boats from her Petrel Play kayak, a Nick Shade design I built for her a few years ago. From left to right, the big boats are: Lady Maryland, Lynx, Pride of Baltimore, Kalmar Nyckel, Sultana.
