The boat slips away from a quiet marina at the end of Ocean Drive and the mangroves take over—dark fingers of roots that dare you to look closer while shore birds wheel above. In the hour before sunset the Atlantic opens into a sheet of light; dolphins sometimes break that surface with a playful tail-slap, and manatees drift like slow islands near the shallows.
