The hull of Sonata hums as the marina slides away, restaurants and spinner dolphins shrinking into a strip of color. Salt presses against your skin and the Sierra Nevada’s shoulders rise, raw and granite, toward cloud. By the time the cutter-ketch turns its bows toward Tayrona, the city is a low hum and the ocean is the day’s focus: blue, quick, and demanding. Onboard, the rhythm is efficient—crew briefing, lines hauled, motor tacks into a wind that will decide how much we actually sail.
