Morning light scrapes the Caribbean flat; the sail fills, and the deck hums with the quiet business of ropes and the captain’s steady hand. You stand at the bow as reef-blue water dares you closer, the boat sliding without engine noise so the sea’s edges — turtles, rays, and the occasional dolphin — come forward on their terms.
