The wake slides away like a folded map as the marina recedes and the arch of Baja appears on the horizon—granite fingers cut by wind and sea, daring you to look closer. On a private 28-foot yacht, a small group settles into the rhythm of salt and breeze: a safety briefing from a crew that knows these waters, a quick route to Pelican Rock or the shoals beneath El Arco, and then the plunge into clear Pacific water where parrotfish wheel like living confetti.
