The catamaran slips away from the Punta Sam marina and the Caribbean spreads out in a cool, endless sheet — turquoise light, a warm wind that turns music into a laugh. Onboard, the crew sets a lively rhythm; below the water, Punta Sam Reef waits in shallow clarity where parrotfish and sergeant majors weave through coral heads and, sometimes, a turtle glides lazily by.
