The water smells of salt and diesel as you step off the sand and into a sheltered Jersey bay, the Channel opening wide beyond a tidy triangle of buoyed markers. In the first minutes an instructor walks you through throttle control, steering and local rules; then the sea hands back the reins and the course dares you to push a little harder. Wind cuts across your face, the hull hums, and the shoreline slides by—rocky bluffs give way to low cliffs formed from ancient granite and sand deposited by tidal forces that define Jersey’s coastline.
