You step off the lancha and the ocean seems to breathe around the stilted cabin—saline air pushing at your shirt, small waves nudging the pilings as if to invite a swim. By midmorning the island’s palms lean into the trade wind; the water flatters you with color, from pale aquamarine at the sandbar to cobalt where the reef drops away.
