The engine cuts through early-morning mist and salt air, the jet ski's bow lifting as you push out of the marina into a ribbon of tidal channel. Marsh grass leans away like an audience; the wind dares you forward while the bay opens—flat, brackish, restless. In a single hour you skim between shoals and dredged channels, feeling the spray map the route on your face.
