The hull slips away from the quay and the Mediterranean widens, blue and blunt against the stern. Salt stings the air and a warm wind tugs at the sails; the Restless Spirit points toward coves that can only be reached by water, cliffs catching the light like pages. On a clear day the coastline of the Costa Brava unfurls—rocky capes, sheltered bays and low pine slopes that push down to pebble beaches.
