Morning light slants across the marina as a 52-foot catamaran eases away from the dock and the coastline of Cabo San Lucas slides into a long coastline of ochre cliffs and blue water. Within minutes the boat threads past Corsario Beach and Pelican’s Rock; the sea opens and the hunt for migrating gray whales begins. The ocean here feels intentional — currents push, sea lions bob like punctuation, and the Arch appears as the dramatic punctuation of Land’s End.
