You step off the dock as salt air pushes against your face and the captain gives a quick nod — the boat hums away from the marina and the city’s noise dissolves into open water. Sunlight skitters across shallow flats; a sandbar appears like an island of sunlight where friends spread towels and laughter carries across the reef.
