The bow slices through warm Caribbean blue as palm-fringed islands roll by—granite boulders, sugar sand and reef patches flashing beneath the hull. Onboard, a local crew lays out bottled water and cold drinks, points toward the next stop and hands you a mask; the day becomes a sequence of salt-slick mornings, coral gardens and lazy lunches ashore.
