The boat rocks once, twice, then slips out of Cabo’s marina and the city’s heat thins into salt and a low, underwater sound. On the horizon, the jagged silhouette of Land’s End cuts the sky — the place where the Pacific leans into the Sea of Cortez and stirs life into motion. You feel the ocean’s personality immediately: curious, abundant, and impatient to show you something.
