The motor hums and the handcrafted tiki slides across Lower Grand Lagoon, palms slipping past like pages in a sun-warmed book. Bright foam floats and a chilled cooler sit ready while the USCG-licensed captain eases the shallow-draft vessel toward Sandy Point — a white-sand shelf where dolphins often thread through the wake and shallow water invites ankle-deep lounging.
