Salt air and sunborne spray set the first scene as a catamaran slips out of Miches harbor, engines humming and sails catching a steady Caribbean breeze. Riders pass a waist‑deep natural pool—its transparent water daring you to step in—where starfish sometimes dot the sand like slow confetti. The vessel eases into the channel; on-deck laughter and the clink of glasses mark a day paced for both play and pause.

Hydrate and pace alcohol
