The speedboat pushes off from the east coast and the ocean answers—salt spray stinging your face, the hull skimming blue that deepens toward the horizon. Engines hum as cliffs and sugar-white beaches slide into view: first the Grand River South East where a freshwater ribbon hurls itself into the Indian Ocean, then the wide lagoon that cradles Île aux Cerfs.
