The sky over San Diego Bay tightens into color as an electric Duffy slips from Safe Harbor Marina and the city’s skyline slides into view. The boat’s gentle hum replaces engine roar; water catches the sunset and throws it back in bands of orange and mauve. Passengers lean on railings, playlists queue up, and the Coronado Bridge frames the western horizon like a doorway.
