The boat motors away from the crowded shoreline and the bay opens like a page you can read from above. Wind takes the harness and, for 8–10 minutes, you float—high enough to see the jagged notch of El Arco, the split between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific, and the bright, soupy blue of Medano Beach below. The sea dares you to look down; the town shrugs, lights glinting on the marina.
