Aboard a white-hulled catamaran the Caribbean stretches like a dare — turquoise flats breaking into channels that push the boat gently forward. Laughter and music fold into the wind as the crew trims sails and pours cold drinks; the island of Isla Mujeres grows sharper on the horizon, its limestone shore and beaches bright against the sea.
