Morning light strikes the marina as the boat eases away from Dock 4 and the rock needles of Land’s End come into view. Salt spray and the hum of the engine set the rhythm; sea lions bark from kelp beds and the arch stands like a natural gate where the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez collide. Divers slip beneath glassy surface to meet bands of tropical fish, mantas that glide like shadows, and the playful curiosity of local sea lions.
