The speedboat slides out of Trou d'Eau Douce, spray cool against your calves, and the east-coast lagoon opens like a map unreadable until you reach it. Over seven to eight hours, the skipper charts a counterclockwise loop that reads like a short history of Mauritius: lighthouses, sandbanks, coral gardens and a colonial-era battleground seen from the bow.
