You push off from a low dock into warm Caribbean water and the bay pulls you gently out past mangrove roots that seem to reach for the hull. Sun brightens the white sand shallows as you skirt islets and ghostly ruins on Chancel, where iguanas sun themselves on rocks and the current nudges you toward hidden beaches.
