The catamaran eases away from the dock as the western sky begins to change — the island’s limestone ridges and low mangroves darken while the sea picks up the first blush of orange. A low-arched sun slides toward the horizon and the boat’s wake writes a bright line across Spanish Water Bay, giving the feeling that the island itself is leaning back to watch.
