The experience

Ever wondered what it’s like to float off the coast of Gran Canaria with only the sound of water and laughter around you? I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed so quickly: maybe it was the first sip of cava as we left Puerto Rico port, or maybe it was just the way the sun hit the deck. Our skipper greeted everyone by name (I still can’t pronounce half of them), and there was this easy feeling among the twelve of us, like we’d lucked into something more private than most tours.

We drifted past Veneguera Beach while our guide pointed out some story about volcanic sand: honestly, I missed half because I was distracted by this salty breeze and someone’s sunscreen mixing with sea air. The boat itself is huge (17 meters, apparently American-made), but it never felt showy. Just big enough that you could stretch out on your own deckchair or flop onto a sofa at the back if you wanted shade. At one point I tried saying “Perchel” like a local: Li laughed when I butchered it. That cove is only reachable by sea, which made jumping in for snorkeling feel kind of special. The water was cold at first but clear enough to see these little flashes of fish darting around my toes.

Lunch was simple but fresh: some kind of tomato salad that tasted better than it looked (maybe it’s just eating outside that does it). The open bar meant nobody ever had an empty glass for long. Sangria seemed to be the favorite. There were paddle boards floating nearby, and a few brave souls tried them. I stuck to swimming and watching the others fall in (sorry, not sorry). On the way back toward Tauro Beach, I remember thinking how quiet everything got for a minute (just wind and waves), and then someone started telling a story about dolphins they’d seen last week. Didn’t see any myself, but honestly? It didn’t matter.
