The engine hum eases as the Reel Lady slips from the dock; salt air pushes forward and the Gulf opens like a bright, moving plain. Dolphins arc just beyond the bow, curious and quick, turning the water into silver ribbons that dare you to reach out. On the back deck, the late-afternoon light thins and the horizon reads as a clear line between sea and sky.
