The yacht slips away from the Prince Waikiki docks and the city’s lights loosen their grip on the horizon. Salt air threads through the railings as the yacht points toward Leahi (Diamond Head); the Pacific opens and seems to dare you to look longer. Onboard, a small group of six settles into the plunge between late-afternoon calm and the riot of color that follows the sun.
