The bow parts the bay and the city noise thins to a hiss as the sail fills and the crew trims lines. Salted wind pushes the boat north from Playa Mujeres into a shallow, turquoise corridor where the sea dares you to dive. Dolphins sometimes appear off the bow, curious and quick; the boat eases into a calm patch and the anchor drops into crystalline water where snorkel masks reveal bright parrotfish and coral gardens.
