The day opens in Cartagena's harbor with the boat engine ticking like a distant promise; soon the city’s stone walls are a shrinking silhouette and the Caribbean stretches, warm and blunt, toward Cholon. Onboard, a private group settles into shaded benches while the captain threads between small islands, music pulsing and the sea daring you to loosen your shoulders.
