You step onto the dock in Angra dos Reis as the speedboat idles, spray tasting faintly of salt and diesel. The shoreline peels away and islands stack like a slow-moving skyline; the engine pushes you toward pockets of water that change color with every mile. Lagoa Azul flashes turquoise; Lagoa Verde shivers emerald. The rhythm alternates between quick runs across open water and gentle drifting in sheltered coves where fish slide under your fins.
