You step off the dock at Sun Bay Marina as the engine idles, the harbor light catching the wake; the Atlantic smells of salt and sun, and the captain’s voice calls the plan for the day. The boat slips from Fajardo and the channel opens — currents dare you with their speed, reef flats beckon with patches of turquoise, and Culebra’s low profile rises ahead like a well-kept secret.
