The catamaran slips away from Staniel Cay at first light, the hull whispering through clear water while low islands hold their breath. Salt and hot teak fill the air; mangrove channels narrow like pages, then fold open to a horizon of glassy blues. Onboard, the captain plots an unhurried route through the central Exumas—sand bars, hidden coves, and the submerged caverns that make this archipelago famous.
