The engine hum shifts into a steady thrum and the coastline of Lanzarote slides past — black lava cliffs, whitewashed villas, and the sharp arc of sandy coves. You leave the port, the boat carving a narrow wake as the captain searches for a sheltered patch of Atlantic glass; wind and swell are checked, lines are read, and instruction is given on land before you step into the sea.
