The experience

“You see that?” our captain grinned, pointing to a patch of water where the sun was doing that glittery thing it does. I was still finishing my coffee from the port at Morro Jable (should’ve skipped the second cup, catamarans move more than you think). The Magic Select felt bigger than I expected, but somehow everyone found their own spot: some folks up front in the wind, others like me hanging back near the rail. The sail went up with a snap and suddenly we were gliding out past the harbor, chasing after those stories about dolphins and whales. Didn’t expect to actually see them, but there they were. Just flashes of gray and fins, quick as anything. Someone cheered. I probably did too.

Li, our guide (born here, she told us all about growing up on Fuerteventura), kept handing out little facts between jokes. The air smelled salty and faintly sweet, almost like sunscreen and seaweed mixed together. We drifted along the south coast for what felt like ages but wasn’t even an hour before we pulled into this cove: white sand so bright it hurt my eyes for a second. I jumped in before thinking about how cold it might be. Not bad at all. Floating there with just sky above and the catamaran bobbing nearby… yeah, I still think about that moment when things went quiet except for someone laughing somewhere behind me.

Lunch was simple but hit the spot: grilled fish, some salad, bread that tasted better after swimming (maybe everything does). Drinks kept appearing without anyone really asking. I stuck with cold water after my first glass of wine nearly knocked me out in the sun. There was this older couple who’d brought their grandkid. He tried steering for a minute while Li watched him like a hawk but let him feel important anyway. On the way back to Morro Jable, most people sprawled out half-asleep or chatting softly under their hats. I remember thinking how easy it is to forget time out here, and then we were back at port before I’d figured out if I was sunburned or just happy.
