The boat pushes away from the dock as dusk slips over Destin — tiki lamps sway, a cooler rattles, and the skyline begins to wink on one building at a time. Salt air moves through the crowd like a livewire; the harbor lights reflect in the chop, and the captain eases into a steady cruise down the channel so the city can perform its slow, luminous show.
