The catamaran slides away from Corralejo with the Atlantic testing its wake like a curious traveler. In the space between the mainland and Isla de Lobos, salt air sharpens; the sea opens and then narrows, pulling eyes toward a low crescent of sand and volcanic rock. Within an hour you’ve shed the harbor buzz and are anchored in a clear cove where the boat’s crew hands out snorkel masks, paddle boards and two fishing rods — a compact toolkit for reading the ocean.
