The boat eases away from Pier 10, the city’s seafront buildings shrinking against a rim of heat haze while the Pacific breathes cooler air over the deck. Salt finds the eyes and the captain’s voice cuts through the wind — a quick safety brief, a count of rods, and the promise of open water. In roughly six miles you trade the sheltered bay for blue that deepens with every knot and, with it, the possibility of snappers, tunas, and the occasional sailfish that tear through the surface like a dare.
