The marina thins to a few last boats as you step aboard: the diesel hum softens, a marine biologist scans the horizon, and the Pacific pushes the sun toward the western rim. The captain eases away from dock M–O near the Tesoro Hotel and you glide past pleasure craft toward Land’s End, where El Arco throws long shadows and the sea dares you to spot a tail slap.
