The morning light cuts across Rodney Bay as the Sea Spray slips its mooring and the island opens up—Pigeon Island’s ruined fort retreats astern while the coastline lays out its fishing villages and palms. The boat hums south, and the twin cones of Gros Piton and Petit Piton appear like two anchors holding St. Lucia to the sea; salt, diesel, and the faint spice of cocoa mingle as passengers lean on the rail for the first photograph.
