The catamaran glides out of a sheltered harbor, solar panels humming quietly as the hull parts teal water. Wind brushes the deck and the western cliffs of Gran Canaria rise like dark ribs, volcanic and abrupt; gulls wheel above the bow while the ocean opens into a lane of deep blue that dares swimmers and invites silence.
