The catamaran slips away from Cancún as the morning light picks out bands of turquoise and indigo; decks warm underfoot, the bar already humming, and the Caribbean breeze urging the sails. You feel the boat push into open water, heading for Isla Mujeres — a low, limestone island once sacred to the Maya and now ringed with reefs that hold tropical fish and sea turtles.
