The boat eases away from San Francisco Beach and the Caribbean blue opens up, a blink of reef and white sand shrinking beneath you as the harness takes the weight. For 15 minutes the sea breathes around you — wind that teases, a horizon that pushes wider — while the boat's wake threads the island below.
