The boat’s engine ticks into a steady rhythm as you glide off the dock and into the brackish veins that lace Hilton Head Island. Salt-sweet air lifts spray onto the tube; the captain gently teases the bow forward and the current dares you to hold on. For the next hour the marshes, tidal creeks and open sound become your playground — shoreline pines lean over the water, and low islands roll past like slow waves of green.
