The airboat skims the sawgrass like a sentence written across water — fast, breathless, and edged with pink. As you ease away from the ramp and into the shallow marsh, the sun drops into the horizon and the Everglades begins to change; reeds throw long shadows, wading birds tighten their silhouettes, and gators slide like dark punctuation beneath the surface.
