"In a civilized country, like where I come from," said Eustace,
"the ships are so big that when you're inside you wouldn't know you were at sea at all."
"In that case, you might just as well stay ashore," said Caspian.

Virginia Pilot Clipper Schooner Catamaran Arrives in Chestertown
for Downrigging Weekend

Right about now you should be humming the theme from "Jaws"... The first fin surfaced at the end of my paddle blade. "Should I poke it away? Probably not. Should I turn around and flee?" I wasn't in a seal colony, they were hunting fish, not Sea Lions (furry or plastic, like mine). I kept paddling and soon noticed that the fins of obviously cartiliginous fish were appearing in pairs. Cartiliginous yes, sharks, no. Cownosed rays of large size, hunting crabs.
The Pride of Baltimore II's foremast and square topsail yards (the meteor was real, but I had to add it on Photoshop) shot from the deck at night with a Pentax K1000 on tripod, while we rode at anchor off Eastern Neck Island MD.
