Sunlight slants across the Sea of Cortez as the Baja Blast catamaran slips from the marina, sails humming and the city receding into low cliffs. Passengers cluster at the rail; the boat eases toward El Arco, the granite arch that marks Land’s End, where waves dare you to come closer and currents push seabirds into sudden, looping dives.
