The sun lifts off the Tyrrhenian and the sea pushes you forward as you push away from Spiaggia del Genio—pale sand slipping past the kayak hull, wind the only other voice. In a small group you paddle through water so clear you can watch Posidonia beds sweep beneath your blades, and the coast of Golfo Aranci opens in successive coves toward the squat outline of Figarolo island.
