The marina thins to a gallery of masts as you step aboard a 38ft Azimut, the diesel settling into a low, marine heartbeat. From B Dock at Marina Fiesta, the boat slides into the bright corridor between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific—Lands End and its sculpted granite arch growing larger like a landmark in a travelogue. Sea lions bark from nearby rocks; the sun catches a shoulder of water and throws it back in silver.
