The canoe glides low over glassy lagoon water as the western sky begins to change—gold folding into coral, then into a band of deep indigo. Onboard, the hull hums, a small group leans into the rail, and a server eases out a chilled bottle; the surface of the sea seems to hold the light back just long enough for the last flare.
