A low-slung Todomar skims the Pacific, spray bright against a wide blue that stretches from the Amador Causeway to the scattered dots of the Pearl Islands. You leave Flamenco Marina as Panama City's skyline shrinks behind you; ahead are white beaches, tidal sand bars that appear like secrets, and water that changes from teal to deep cobalt with every nautical mile.
