Salt air and the low arc of the sun set the scene as SV Cosmos Mariner slips out of Sapphire Marina on a two-hour sunset run. The teak deck rocks gently beneath six guests; trade winds tease the mainsail and the harbor light slides down the hull. You feel the current nudging the boat seaward as coastline cliffs and coral-fringed shallows fall away.
