You step aboard the sleek parasail boat as the ocean unrolls in bands of aquamarine and cobalt. The engine settles into a steady hum, the mate runs through straps and safety checks, and the coastline of Roatán slides into view — powdery sand, coconut palms, and reef lines visible through the clear water below. Within minutes the canopy lifts you, twin passengers elevated like a skylight over the Caribbean; the wind tugs gently, and the island widens beneath you.
