The catamaran slips off the dock and the lagoon widens into a bowl of glass-blue water. Wind fills the twin hulls and the engine clicks off; the boat hums with the soft shuffle of sunbathers on netted trampolines while Mount Otemanu looms jagged and green toward the sky. Music threads through the air as the crew maneuvers toward the reef where the lagoon meets the ocean and the water deepens from turquoise to indigo.
