No Experience Required

You push off from the marina, the city’s bright roofs shrinking as the bow cuts toward the horizon. The breath of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez mix into a salt-sweet wind that plays with your hair and the brim of your hat. Within minutes the skyline of Cabo — the jagged granite of Land’s End and the famous El Arco — becomes a sculpted silhouette against an open blue, and the ocean begins to show its mood: glassy one minute, playful the next.
