The catamaran slips away from the small marina and the Pacific opens up in long, bright strokes. Salt air tugs at your hair, the deck hums with conversation, and the late-afternoon sun begins to tilt, gilding the water. As the vessel eases into open sea, the coastline of Guanacaste stretches west — rocky points give way to sandy coves, and the slow current seems to invite you to breathe deeper and move slower.
