The boat slips free from the dock as late-afternoon light varnishes the pilings; gulls wheel and the harbor glass darkens into lanes of reflected sky. Onboard, a small group finds quiet—the low murmur of conversation, a soft playlist, and the click of cameras as sea lions haul out on floating docks and dolphins arc in the channel.
