The speedboat slips out of Castries harbor and the north coast opens like a page of coastline — rocky headlands, a string of white beaches and the pale roofs of Rodney Bay slipping astern. Waves dare you forward; the sea pushes the bow toward Pigeon Island, where coral-fringed shallows meet a short, stony spit that was once a British naval outpost.
