You step onto the Sea Rocket as the sun leans low over the Atlantic, salt air tugging at the brim of your hat and the pilings turning long, soft shadows. The boat slips out of the marina with a casual confidence; city lights begin to blink awake while the captain narrates the route through the Intracoastal Waterway.
