Salt spray and a low, steady hum of an outboard guide the morning as the boat leaves Nassau behind and the flat horizon of Eleuthera rises like a pale promise. Blue-green water opens around Spanish Wells; reef tops break the surface and invite a mask and a slow kick. Turtles cruise the shallows here, unbothered by human curiosity, while a rusting hull offshore keeps a quiet watch at the shipwreck site.
