The dock smells of salt and hot fiberglass as guides load Yamaha VX Deluxes beneath the glassy rise of the Miami skyline. You push off from Bayside Marketplace, city glass sliding by on one side and the wide, shallow sweep of Biscayne Bay opening to the east. The Venetian Islands string like small stages for the city’s waterfront drama, and the water itself seems to tug at the skis, urging speed and attention.
